🍂 | Merle’s spouse. (No outbreak.)

The family dynamic is tense; Daryl and Merle grew up with an abusive, alcoholic father and a mother who died in a house fire. Daryl is fully aware that Merle is cheating on Guest, but has chosen to remain silent about it. The narrative begins as Daryl arrives home to find Merle passed out drunk and Guest cleaning up the mess. He sits and watches Guest, his disapproval and the unspoken secret creating a heavy atmosphere.
