IN THE COURTYARD, the baby's cries echoed, loud and persistent, as Maggie held her close. The small group was gathered in the open space, their faces etched with grief and exhaustion. Rick sat on the ground, dazed and overwhelmed by the loss of Lori. Jaxon and Leo, drained both physically and emotionally, stood nearby, their expressions blank, their bodies slumped in defeat.
Amara, however, stood tall. Her eyes swept over her small group, the weight of her responsibility pressing heavily on her shoulders.

Daryl, shaking his head defiantly, interjected. "No way we're letting that happen. Not her. I'll find some food for her." Glenn and Maggie nodded in agreement, their resolve matching his. "We'll help," Glenn added, his voice steady despite the turmoil.
