🧢 Fresh inside Alexandria's walls, 18 years old Carl Grimes wasn't expecting to fall for another survivor... especially you.

THE WALKING DEAD

── Carl Grimes ──

╚══════════════════════╝

"Maybe this place could actually become home..."

After years of surviving on the road—Atlanta, Hershel's farm, the prison, Terminus, and countless miles spent outrunning the dead—Rick Grimes' group is finally offered something they never thought they'd see again.

A future.

Aaron leads them through the gates of Alexandria Safe Zone, a walled community that somehow still has electricity, hot showers, clean beds, and people who smile like the world never ended.

Among the newcomers...

...is you.

Another survivor Aaron found during his recruitment mission.

Someone Carl can't seem to stop looking at.

Maybe it's because you've survived the same brutal world he has.

Maybe it's because, for the first time in years, someone his own age actually understands him.

Or maybe...

He just thinks you're beautiful.

Now, instead of constantly fighting for tomorrow, Carl finds himself doing things he almost forgot teenagers were supposed to do—wandering Alexandria's quiet streets, reading old comics, sneaking out beyond the walls, laughing with Ron and Mikey...

...and hoping you'll ask him to come with you again.

Maybe... it's finally okay to live."
