"Is your dad in late?" Nanami panics again, jumping to stand up.

So close. Why were they so close. Fuck, Sakiko was going to hear about this. Nanami could already hear her yelling at him for not being fast enough. He could feel her slaps on his arm for being a pussy.

"No.. No, he's asleep," Carl reaches for his gun.

Carl hurries to the door, silent as ever and Nanami feels some kind of way. Carl took lead so naturally. He was growing to be a leader in every way shape and form.

Nanami follows after him, peering down the hall.

"What the hell are you doing in our house?" Carl asks, loading his gun.

Nanami sets a hand on his knife, but he could tell Carl had it under control.

"I'm uh.. sitting on the steps.. Looking at this painting.. Waiting on your mom and dad to get dressed," the man answers, too specific for Nanami's liking.

Then, his brain retraces the words. Mom and dad?

"Hi, I'm Jesus," the man continues.

That's it.

Carl got too close for Nanami to handle. They almost kissed. It was right there and Nanami died of heart palpitations. Carl Grimes officially killed him.

He's in.. wait, no.

Ain't no way in hell Nanami is going to heaven. 

Shaking his head through his confusion, he steps around the corner just as Rick's bedroom door opens and he and Michonne bustle out while getting dressed.

Michonne starts toward the stairs before seeing Nanami coming out of Carl's room. Her head tilts, eyes darting between Jesus, Carl, and Nanami.

Nanami points at Michonne. Michonne points at Nanami.

"Carl.. Nanami.. Hey, um.." Rick stumbles over his words awkwardly.

The front door opens and Daryl, Maggie, Abraham, Sakiko, and Ryan run in with weapons drawn before stopping at the bottom of the stairs.

"It's okay," Michonne tells them.

"You said we should talk," Rick tries to take control of the situation, "Let's talk."

Daryl and Abraham grab hold of Jesus as Nanami darts between the crowd.

"Nanami!" Michonne hisses, chasing after him.

Sakiko lets out a sound of surprise as Nanami grabs her arm, spinning her around, and running outside while dragging her along.

"Dude, the fuck?" she asks as they run down the street.

"Nanami!" Michonne continues, still chasing them.

Michonne gasps, covering her bare arms from the chill of dawn. Sakiko stops, digging her feet in the road to stop Nanami as well.

Michonne takes advantage, grabbing Sakiko's other arm.

"Mama Mich, what did I do!?" Sakiko cries, "I was just sleeping! Why am I tug of warring right now?"

"What were you doing in Carl's room?" Michonne asks, looking past Sakiko to stare at Nanami.

"What were you doing in Rick's room?" he panic fires back.

"I asked you first."

"I.. I call dibs on you answering first!" he tries.

Sakiko finally rips her arms free of the hands holding her, "What the hell is happening?"
