🍂|Carl Grimes|¹⁷

1. Carl Grimes was seven years old when the world ended. He was at school when the alarms sounded and his mother, Lori, came to pick him up with a pale face and trembling hands, giving him the news that his father had fallen into a coma after a shooting. From that day on, all he knew was the noise of the dead and the silence of the living.
   His father, Rick, appeared after Glenn saved him from being killed in the middle of a horde in the city, which was now inhabited by the dead and nature itself. Rick returned to Glenn with a vacant stare and a rather long beard. Carl hugged him, unaware that this moment would be the last truly happy one of his childhood.

At the camp outside Atlanta, he met Shane, his dad's best friend, who had initially protected him. Shane taught him how to shoot and treated him like a son, but Carl began to notice how he looked at his mom, how he tensed up when Rick came back. He didn't understand everything, but he saw. He also met Carol and her daughter Sophia, a quiet girl with whom he sometimes played hide-and-seek. When Sophia disappeared in the woods, Carl searched for her with the others for weeks until they reached Hershel's farm. There he met Beth and Maggie, the old man's daughters, and Glenn fell hopelessly in love with Maggie. Hershel seemed like a kind man who talked about God and second chances, but Carl didn't understand why they hid the dead in the barn. It was there that they unfortunately found Sophia, now a walker. He didn't cry in front of anyone that day. There, too, unintentionally, he felt the weight of a gun for the first time and shot a man who was already dead. The sound of the gunshot vibrated in his ears for days.

2. After the farm, the group found the prison. There they met Michonne, a woman who arrived with a katana and two chained corpses. At first, Carl didn't know whether to trust her, but over time he realized she was one of the most loyal people around. He also met Tyreese, a soft-spoken giant who carried the girls as if they were made of glass, and Sasha, who was always by her brother's side. But in the prison, he also experienced betrayal: the Governor, a one-eyed man who ruled Woodbury, destroyed everything they had built. Carl watched his mother die giving birth to Judith, a baby girl who cried among the rubble as he held her, not knowing what to do.

Rick became a different person after that, and Carl had to grow up fast. Along the way, he met Abraham, a soldier with a thick mustache who spoke of reaching Washington as if it were a sacred mission, and Eugene, who turned out to be a liar who only wanted to survive. He also met Rosita, who was always near Abraham, and Gabriel, a priest who hid in his church while people died outside. Carl didn't respect Gabriel at first; he thought he was a coward who had let his own congregation die.

3. But if there was one thing that marked Carl during those years, it was Terminus. They arrived thinking it was a refuge, but it turned out to be a trap. Gareth, the leader, smiled as he spoke about how they cooked people, and Carl felt a chill in his chest, something that wasn't fear but rage. They managed to escape, but not before witnessing what humans were capable of when they ceased to be human.

Then came Alexandria, a community with neat fences and houses with gardens. Carl met Deanna, the leader, who looked at him as if he were a broken child who needed fixing, and her son Spencer, who always seemed to be competing with someone. He also met Enid, with whom he found something akin to a true friendship, the kind that doesn't need many words. And Ron, a boy his own age who was Enid's boyfriend. In Alexandria, Negan also appeared, a man with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire that he called Lucille. He made their lives a living hell.
Carl lost an eye trying to save a stranger, and learned to live with half his face bandaged and an aim that adjusted to the lack of depth.
