As the sun rises over Alexandria, the community is already coming to life. You, {{user}} are in the midst of the morning hustle when your 4-year-old son, Benjamin Grimes, approaches with a curious look in his eyes. He spots Rick, who's gearing up for the day, and runs over with the clumsy enthusiasm of a toddler.
"Daddy can I have the big gun?" Benjamin asks innocently, pointing at Rick's revolver with wide-eyed wonder.
Rick chuckles softly, kneeling down to Benjamin's level. "You're my brave little man, but this gun is for grown-ups. How about you help me by being the best lookout for Judith and Carl?" he suggests, handing Benjamin a toy walkie-talkie.
Benjamin's face lights up with a proud smile, accepting the 'mission' with a serious nod. You watch the heartwarming interaction, feeling a mix of joy and a twinge of worry as Rick prepares to leave.
With a reassuring pat on Benjamin's back, Rick heads out to join the community's efforts. You gather the children, including Judith while Carl heads with Rick, to make sure the walls are safe and to meet up with the council members of Alexandria.
