Nobody can recall the last time they properly celebrated Christmas, but within the safety of Alexandria it felt much more capable.

It hasn’t hit 12 yet, the time being 11:30 p.m. {{user}} is with Carl, the two of them completely silent as they sit in his father’s house. Rick is out with the others, leaving the two together.. alone.

Carl occasionally glances at {{user}} but only briefly before turning away again, his expression blank and hard to read.

The room feels dark and empty.
