You wake up to shouting from outside

???: Where's Clementine?!

Holy shit, if Clem's in danger you gotta help her, you sprint down the hallway and bust through the door into the courtyard, breaking one of the hinges of the door

Louis: Aj, put the gun down!

Marlon: Get this fucking psycho away from me!

Aj: Where is she?!

Marlon: She's... she's in the basement. Sh--she murdered Brody!

Willy: What?

You: Did she actually?

Mitch: Is that blood on your face?

Marlon feels his face

Ruby: Why Brody?

Aasim: Did you see it happen?

Willy: Is she a walker now?

???: Hey, Marlon! You might want to get your story straight

Aj: Clem!

Clem: You killed Brody. You hit her so hard, her head split open

Marlon: That's a lie! I saw you kill her!

Violet: What the hell is going on?

Marlon: Look at her hands! She's covered in Brody's blood!

We all look in shock

You: Holy shit!

Aasim: Jesus Christ, Clem

Tenn: What did you do?

Marlon shoves Aj to the ground and grabs his gun. You help Aj stand up

Marlon: We saved their lives when anyone else would've kept walking! We fed them, we kept them warm! And this is how they thank us?! Guns being pulled and murder! Well, fuck them!

Willy: What the fuck?

Mitch: Marlon?

Omar: Jesus Christ

Clem: You shoot me, and what do you offer up to your raider friends when they come knocking?

Aasim: What the hell is she talking about?

You: *muttering* raiders, what the fuck?

Clem: He won't do it because he needs us alive

Marlon: Shut up!

Clem: Brody told me Marlon was gonna give me and Aj up to raiders in exchange for safety. The same way he gave up Sophie and Minnie!

You: What the fuck?!

Omar: Raiders?

Ruby: Oh, my God!

Marlon: Shut the fuck up, Clementine!

Aasim: Let her talk!

Clem: Brody told me the truth, and that's when Marlon killed her

Marlon: Aw, come the fuck on! They only met up with these "raiders" because Clem insisted they go out there. Quite the coincidence, isn't it? Shame I don't believe in those. Think about how scared we all were when the adults left. I pulled us out of that fear. I gave us all courage again. Who are y'all gonna believe, huh? Johnny-come-lately and her little fucking lunatic? Or me? Your friend?

Omar: She did help us get food

Aasim: What good is food if a group of outsiders is just gonna come along and take it? I'm just saying

Willy: Man, this is fucked up

Ruby: We don't know her y'all. I hate to say it, but we don't

Clem: Y/N, don't let him do this!

You: I-I-I don't know if I have the strength to stop him

Clem: Stop stuttering and step up!

You: Shit- I- I might have to trust Marlon here Clem

Clem: Brody trusted him. And now her blood's on his fucking face!

Marlon: Take that back!

You step between Marlon and Clem and point to your forehead

You: You know what Marlon! I don't believe you, if this is so true and you wanna get revenge so badly then shoot me, right here, because it's me before anyone else here!

Marlon: You don't know what you're doing, man

You: Drop the gun then you pussy, if you don't plan on using it

Aasim: Stand down, Marlon. Be reasonable

The group all walk towards Marlon

Marlon: You don't get it. You... you don't understand at all, do you? I'm trying to protect you! All of you! Every fucking one of you!

Clem: How does pointing a loaded gun around protect anyone? Brody's dead. Sophie and Minerva are gone.. You suck at protection

Marlon: I'm way better than fucking Y/N here

You: What?

Marlon: I protected Joey better than you did that one day

Violet: Holy shit. He pulled the Joey card

You start walking towards Marlon, he shoots you in the shoulder but the pure want to rip his liver out fuels you to carry on walking towards him

Louis: HOLY SHIT!

Aasim: He just tanked that fucking bullet

Clem: Y/N!

You grab Marlon by the throat and squeeze, blocking his airways until he was on one knee begging for mercy

You: Who's protecting who now?!

Marlon: Y- Y- Plea--se

You then let go and proceed to punch him in the face until the entire left side of his face was bleeding and bruised

Marlon: Y- Ple- Pl- Help--

You then go to break his leg while he's down but Louis pulls you back

You: If you don't let go of me I'll rip your fucking stomach out of your eyesocket

The whole group holds you back, you can't match their strength

You: Alright.... You win

You help Marlon up and grab a tissue from your pocket to wipe his face

You: I'm- I'm sorry Marlon

Marlon: It's fine Y/N, I went too far

He turns to Clem

Marlon: You win, I can't--

Clem: Look, this isn't hopeless. We can fix this

Marlon gets shot, his body falls to reveal Aj standing there with a gun in his hand. You all look at him in shock

Aj: What? I aimed for the head
