-AUTHOR's POV-

-MORNING-

It was now morning, the sun was already setting up....we take a look at Alexandria, as we see Father Gabriel having a meeting with the people there in Alexandria, questioning about Rick and his group, alongside with Jadis too.

Gabriel: Do not worry, Everything will be okay.

Random #5: What do you mean "okay"?? Rick and them left last night without telling us.

Random #9: Is this about "Negan"?? I though he died.

Gabriel: Look, I am not too sure when they will be back, but all I can say for right now...we will all be okay, I can promise you people that...we be having no more trouble...not anymore.

The people were yet so confused on what Gabriel was talking about...then, he looks over, and sees Carl, at the lookout at the gates, keeping a eye outside to see if anything occurs...
.
.
.
Then suddenly, he spots someone, walking out from the woods, and quickly gets makes his way down to the ground and shouts out...

Carl: Gabriel!

Gabriel wasted no time as he and the rest of Alexandria go running over to the gate. As Carl was opening it, and to look over to that someone walking out from the woods...to think he expected his father, Michonne, and his friends to be the ones arriving back, but to be wrong, as (YN), was the one that was coming back. Clothes covered in blood, yet slowly and calmly approaching to the gate as Gabriel arrives, yet was yet upset and sadden to think as well would be Rick and his group. And as for the people in Alexandria...they were scared, and yet soon to think (YN) must've done something to Rick and his group, which he already did. (YN) arrives at the front gate, standing there dead silent, holding a rifle on his hand, and holding a bag with him too as he got up close...

Random #2: He's alive...!

Random #5: Impossible!

Random #7: Wait, Where's Rick??

Random #3: Where are the rest of them?!?

(YN): ...Don't worry...Rick, and everyone else in that group...are dead.

They all gasp in fear to hear that...

(YN): Yeah...I killed them, all of em.

Suddenly, the people slowly started to bargain, and yet starting to get riled up and ready to go attack (YN), and (YN) not caring and waited for anyone to even dare try lay their hands on him....but only from Carl to step up, and stop his people from charging against (YN)...

Carl: Leave him.

Random #15: What?? Carl, what are you doing??

Random #11: Did you not hear, he killed your father and your friends! Why the hell are you defending him!?

Random #8: We can kill him right here and now!

Carl: No! Don't! Everyone, listen!

Everything were yet frustrated and confused at the same time of what (YN) did, and yet Carl defending him from them, and wondering why. Carl, looks down for a sec, taking a deep breathe to fight off the tears...looks at them and says...

Carl: I know what he did, and yeah, I have every right to be angry and every right to kill him here and now. But...at the same time, I understand why he did it...and it's dumb for me to say this, not cause I'm a kid, but understand the reason he did it, the reason he's like this, all the things he's done to my father and my friends.

They're were still confused on what was Carl talking about, but as for Gabriel...he understood since Carl told him last night...Carl then says...

Carl: My father...and everyone else...they, killed (YN)'s family.

And suddenly, the people's reaction turn to shocking, and disbelief, from what Carl said...

Carl: It happened two years ago...we met his family at a school where they live. And when we did...we opened fire against them, killing each and one of them...and from right there...we didn't knew it was (YN)'s family...until now.

(YN): ....

Carl: And for that...I know what has happen my father and my friends now...it's hard to say this, but I understand...

They all felt so bad the fact Carl had to go through this, even right in front of (YN)...

(YN): Carl...

Carl: Don't thank me, I'm only saying this so they can understand from me, and not to you.

(YN): ....

Carl: Now...you better have a good reason why you're here and not gone for good.

(YN): ....Just came by, and see someone here.

Carl: ...Who??

.
.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, at Carl's house, (YN) arrives in, and Carl right behind him as (YN) then spots the "someone" he wants to see...and that happens to be little Judith and Hershel Jr, both sleeping and (YN) to quietly approach to them and watch them sleep and gently covers then with a blanket...

(YN): They look really calm.

Carl: Yeah...

(YN): ...*sighs* Kid, listen I-

Carl: Don't. Okay?

(YN): ....

Carl: ...There's nothing to say now, it's all over. Now, you already saw them...now go.

(YN): ...Very well then.

He again looks at Judith and Hershel Jr one more time...he whispers...

(YN): Take care you two.

And to slowly back away, and to then walk out of the room, passing Carl, but stops for a sec and says...

(YN): Carl.

Carl: What?

(YN): ...Take good care of them.

Carl: ....

With that said...(YN) makes his way, exiting the house. (YN) began walking down the road, passing by each houses of Alexandria, looking at the people, avoiding eye contact tact at him, or don't even bother paying attention any attention to (YN) at all. Once (YN) arrive to the gate, there he sees Gabriel, seeing (YN) approaching to the gate. And before he leaves...he and Gabriel didn't look at each other eye or eye...

(YN): ...Take care of these people.

Gabriel: Don't tell me what to do.

(YN): ...Right.

(YN) then walks out, exiting the community and to walk down...and making his way to wherever he's going next. As he walks away, there again, we see Carl climbing up the walls, holding a rifle gun he had stored, and then to look for (YN), spots him through the scope, and to aim his rifle straight to (YN), seeing him leaving...Carl felt a lot of pain and despair of what he know has happened between (YN) and his father...he wanted to kill him, right there and now, pull the trigger and ending him for good....
.
.
But, he then notice looking through the scope, (YN) stop for a sec, and to turn around, and look straight down at Carl...and waved one last bye to him...and to see his lips move saying....

"I'm sorry."

After that, he turns back....and walks away for good...leaving Carl in tears, yet telling him he's sorry for killing his father and friends...but was a reason for it, and Carl can't do a thing about it. Yet, it's understandable why (YN) did, so there isn't much to make an excuse about it...Carl has to live with it for for the rest of his life.

Carl: ....Goodbye, for now, (YN).
