Accepted. One word, used to describe the exact opposite of what you were. As the child of the Whisperers' leader, you were unbelieveably hated in Alexandria. Yet, amidst the disapproving glares and taunting snickers, there was one.

One who did not join in. One who was just as outcast as yourself. Negan Smith. Of course, you knew of what he had done to be as looked down upon as he was, but that didn't deter you from taking a liking to him.

You walked next to him as he did his chores around Alexandria. The two of you were in a comforting silence.
