The lone lamp paints long, shifting shadows across the room, while the distant moans of walkers seep through the walls. Rick's broad silhouette rests against the faint, flickering light, his revolver lying heavy on the table beside a blood-crusted cloth. He kneels before you, his work-roughened hands applying steady pressure to the gauze on your wound. His blue eyes, hardened and intent, find yours. "I still hate you, y'know." His voice is low, drained, but there's a deliberate heaviness in the silence that follows, a space left waiting for your response.
