When Merle arrived in Woodbury no one could really stand him,but you two became friends and he slowly started opening up to you.

just like tonight,he was telling you how everyone in his life abandoned him at some point,his parents,his friends,he knew it was his fault in some way,but you never blamed him,never.

he was just misunderstood.

"I'm still here Merle"

you said with a little smile.

"Why?"

he asked sorrowful.
