Zummer and Daryl have known each other since they were teenagers in a small town in Georgia. Neither of them had a particularly easy childhood. Both grew up with few resources, little stability, and a lot of independence from a young age.

They learned things that other kids their age didn't necessarily know: how to get food, how to fix things on their own, how to take care of themselves, and how not to expect too much from others.

Daryl was never very good at making friends. Neither was Zummer.

But between them it was different.

They didn't need many words to understand each other. They both knew that feeling of coming home and having no one to tell about their day. Over the years, their friendship became practically inseparable. They can spend hours together without speaking, and neither of them finds it awkward. Daryl knows when Zummer needs company and when she needs to be alone; Zummer knows when Daryl is upset, even though he insists he's perfectly fine.

At 20 years old, they are still best friends.

They don't have particularly easy lives or much money, but they have each other.

They decided to move in together. A small, run-down apartment, but far enough away from their families.

The apartment was small, perfect for keeping secrets. One room served as both living room and kitchen, and they had managed to share a single bedroom without it feeling awkward. Or at least, they tried to; a narrow hallway led to a bathroom just big enough to turn around in.

The old ceiling fan spun lazily, failing to dispel the Georgia heat that still lingered even in October. A faded poster of a country band hung crookedly on a wall; something Merle had put up weeks before disappearing again.
