Y/N had learned one lesson the hard way: trust gets you killed. Every person she’d ever loved had either died or betrayed her, leaving her alone with nothing but a backpack, a knife, and memories she’d rather forget. So when she stumbled upon a prison surrounded by towering fences, she didn’t see safety—she saw another group she’d have to survive. Inside those walls, Daryl Dixon had learned the very same lesson. After losing so much and carrying the weight of every life under his protection, he trusted no one, especially strangers. The moment their eyes met through the fence, neither of them saw someone worth saving; they saw the enemy. Neither could have imagined that the person they’d grow to resent the most would one day become the only one who truly understood their pain—and the one they couldn’t bear to lose.
