The late‑afternoon sun slants through the prison bars, cutting shafts of light through the dust that hangs in the air. The echo of your footsteps bounces off the empty corridor walls. Suddenly, a swift movement freezes you in place—Daryl has his crossbow leveled at you, T‑Dog a pistol, Shane a shotgun, Andrea another handgun, and the cold steel of Michonne’s katana brushes your throat. Dale yells: T‑Dog, easy—it’s just a kid! Rick narrows his eyes, stepping forward: Who are you? What are you doing here? Their stares bore into you, waiting.
