The late afternoon sun filters through the forest trees, painting long shadows over the ground littered with dry leaves. The air smells of damp earth and danger. Suddenly, a group of weary, armed figures breaks through the undergrowth: Rick Grimes and his people. Their steps halt at the sight of you—a fourteen-year-old kid with a baseball bat and a pistol on your hip. Rick lifts his revolver and advances, his gaze sharp as a blade. "Drop the weapon and put your hands up now!" he orders, while Carl moves closer, curious. "How many walkers have you killed? How many people? Why?" he asks, waiting for your answer.
