ā It happened. Now itās done. You live with it or it eats you up. ā
ā My people have guns. Yours donāt. ā
ā You keep choosing this life, you will die. ā
ā If you have to eat shit, best not to nibble. ā
ā They donāt attack this place. They donāt kill us. ā
ā Most of the people here donāt even know how to fight, even if we had ammo. ā
ā We need food. You have it. Weāre willing to work for it. ā
ā Confrontationās never been something weāve had trouble with. ā
ā Y'all are worse than a bunch of evangelical second graders. ā
ā Iām still me, but better. I lost everything and it made me stronger. ā
ā I killed so that I could live. I stopped counting when I hit double digits. ā
ā You wanna make today your last day on Earth? ā
ā What if itās the last day on Earth for you? Or someone you love?Ā ā
ā Iām a sinner. I sin almost every day.Ā ā
ā It was a sanctuary. People came and took this place. ā
ā Iāve been bitten, you stupid pricks! Iām tainted meat! ā
ā We can walk away, and we will never cross paths again! ā
ā Nightmares end. They shouldnāt end who you are. ā
ā The second it isnāt, the second we lose sight of that, itās all over.. ā
ā Weāre all gonna die and you let this happen for nothing. ā
ā Welcome to the human race, asshole. ā
ā Youāre not the person people think you are. ā
ā Why donāt you say whatās really on your mind? ā
ā Some days, I donāt know what the hell to think. ā
ā You had no idea what you were talking about, did you? Did you?! ā
ā You hear me? Iām not giving up! People like meā people like me, they can live. ā
ā I like it here. I like the people. But⦠theyāre weak, and I donāt want us to get weak too. ā
ā Yeah, you used to be somebodyās, huh? Now youāre just yours. ā
ā You know, everyoneās been through it somehow. Everyone. ā
ā I met a lot of bad people out here doing a lot of bad shit. ā
ā The evidence seems to go in that direction. ā
ā You well know that Iām not combat ready or even for that matter combat inclined. ā
ā God, youāre really that much of a coward? ā
ā Itās their world. Weāre just living in it. ā
ā You donāt go outside those walls anymore. Not by yourself, not with anyone else. ā
ā Itās gonna get people killed. Itās already gotten people killed. ā
ā Play your cards right, maybe you donāt have to die. ā
ā Things donāt get better because youā you want them to. ā
ā Starting right now, we have to live in the real world. ā
ā When you care about people, hurt is kind of part of the package. ā
ā Iām gonna take a group out. Best not waste any more time. ā
ā When I fell on my ass, they should have just left me out there. ā
ā Everything weāve been working so hard to keep out, it found its way in. ā
ā Everybody makes it, till they donāt. ā
ā I killed two people and you havenāt said a word about it. ā
ā You canāt think forever. Sooner or later, youāve got to make a move.. ā
ā I mean, what the hell is going on in this cabin? Were they storing those biters? ā
ā I could use a vacation. Get away. Just for a weekend. ā
ā Is this what you want? Is this what any one of you want? ā
ā Now you put down your weapons, walk through those gates youāre one of us. ā
ā Get in your cars, get your guns. We go in, kill them all! ā
ā Iām a piece of shit. Why would you want my help? ā
ā Iām sorry. Iām not very good at making boys your age laugh. ā
ā So you tell me how in the holy hell did you possibly kill this truck? ā
ā Weāre not too far gone. We get to come back. ā

Fingers tighten around the hilt of his blade as Aaron offers a small nod in the others direction, his gaze locked on the dark shadows of the forest. They havenāt crossed any sort of boarders, though it had been learned quickly with the whisperers that they didnāt have to cross anything for this particular group to seek them out. They could be killed out here and people back home would be none the wiser.

bringing up sophia, a major failure of his leadership, a sore spot for rick that shane knew very well. who is he to judge ? had it been carl lost among the woods, he would want someone looking for him. day in and day out. thatās exactly what he tried to do for carol, to show that this wasnāt a lost cause. maybe even for himself as the guilt had relentlessly eaten at him. he thought he knew what he was doing when he told that little girl to wait for him. thought itād be a good idea to appease hershel, considering they were on his land. how far theyāve fallen. to rick āāĀ this was a man, whom before, heād trust his life with ; to tell all his troubles, all of his feelings. but that was in a different world, wasnāt it ? before the dead came back to life, before every day was faced with a new threat of danger. perhaps heās naive to think that things could be as simple as before. fuck you, he wanted to say, wanted to yell it on the top of his lungs : to let out all his frustrations about this.Ā āĀ i donāt need this crap from you. āĀ words are bitten off with venom, jaw tensing with each clench of his teeth.Ā āĀ you think you can do better than me. āĀ thereās no question about it. with the way shane carries himself, the way he questions rick time and time again, itās only obvious how ill-fitting he believes rick to be in his position. if shane earned their trust, how come they look to rick instead of him ? much as he wanted to say that exact train of thought, he knew better than to make the situation worse.Ā āĀ here i am, needing your damn support, yet you want to fight me every step of the way. ā
āĀ NAHĀ MAN,Ā IĀ DONāTĀ THINKĀ IĀ CANĀ DOĀ BETTER,Ā IĀ KNOWĀ IĀ CAN.Ā Ā āĀ Ā hisĀ voiceĀ isĀ soĀ sure,Ā soĀ positiveĀ thatĀ heĀ couldĀ ofĀ protectedĀ theseĀ peopleĀ soĀ muchĀ betterĀ thanĀ thisĀ man,Ā soĀ muchĀ betterĀ thanĀ theĀ manĀ heĀ useĀ toĀ callĀ hisĀ bestĀ friend.Ā thingsĀ wereĀ differentĀ nowĀ andĀ theyĀ bothĀ knewĀ it.Ā bothĀ knewĀ thatĀ whatĀ theyĀ onceĀ hadĀ wasĀ noĀ more.Ā itĀ couldĀ neverĀ beĀ theĀ same,Ā everĀ sinceĀ heĀ walkedĀ inĀ likeĀ someĀ whiteĀ hatĀ cowboyĀ withĀ aĀ shinyĀ revolverĀ onĀ hisĀ hip.Ā itĀ madeĀ shaneĀ lookĀ likeĀ aĀ villain,Ā madeĀ people, hisĀ people,Ā despiseĀ hisĀ lackĀ ofĀ hopeĀ forĀ thisĀ world.Ā THEREĀ WASĀ NOĀ REASONĀ TOĀ HAVEĀ HOPE.Ā theĀ deadĀ wereĀ walkingĀ again,Ā everythingĀ wasĀ different,Ā itĀ justĀ wasnātĀ blackĀ orĀ whiteĀ now,Ā andĀ thatāsĀ howĀ theyĀ sawĀ things.Ā Rick,Ā toĀ themĀ wasĀ theĀ good.Ā RickĀ wasĀ theĀ white,Ā whileĀ heĀ lurkedĀ inĀ theĀ shadowsĀ ofĀ theĀ black.Ā itĀ droveĀ himĀ crazyĀ thinkingĀ aboutĀ it,Ā allĀ tooĀ caughtĀ upĀ inĀ hisĀ ownĀ head,Ā broughtĀ backĀ thoseĀ deepĀ cuttingĀ feelingsĀ thatĀ heĀ wasnātĀ goodĀ enough.Ā MAYBEĀ HEĀ WASNāTĀ GOODĀ ENOUGHĀ FORĀ THEM,Ā maybeĀ thatāsĀ whyĀ theyĀ turnedĀ toĀ rick.Ā denial,Ā physicallyĀ shakingĀ hisĀ headsĀ toĀ getĀ theĀ thoughtsĀ out... wellĀ atĀ leastĀ pushingĀ themĀ downĀ againĀ to theĀ backĀ ofĀ hisĀ mind.Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā IĀ ainātĀ fightingĀ youĀ man,Ā justĀ statingĀ myĀ ownĀ damnĀ opinion,Ā andĀ ifĀ youĀ donātĀ damnĀ likeĀ it,Ā keepĀ meĀ outtaĀ yourĀ shit.Ā simpleĀ asĀ that.Ā youāreĀ actināĀ likeĀ thisĀ wasĀ beforeĀ man,Ā andĀ itĀ aināt.Ā IĀ ainātĀ hearĀ toĀ listenĀ toĀ youĀ whineĀ andĀ groanĀ aboutĀ theĀ wayĀ shitĀ shouldĀ be.Ā IāmĀ hereĀ toĀ keepĀ myĀ assĀ safe,Ā toĀ protectĀ lori,Ā toĀ protectĀ carl.Ā TOĀ PROTECTĀ EVERYONE.Ā IĀ wantĀ toĀ survive.Ā youĀ ainātĀ aĀ survivorĀ man,Ā youāreĀ toĀ fuckināĀ softĀ forĀ thisĀ shit.Ā itāsĀ gonnaĀ biteĀ youĀ inĀ theĀ god damnĀ assĀ oneĀ day,Ā itĀ alreadyĀ has,Ā becauseĀ ofĀ youĀ carolĀ lostĀ herĀ fuckingĀ daughter.Ā WHATĀ IFĀ THATĀ WASĀ CARL,Ā huh?Ā youāreĀ aĀ fuckĀ upĀ rick,Ā youāreĀ aĀ fuckĀ upĀ andĀ YOUĀ AINāTĀ BUILTĀ FORĀ THISĀ WORLD.Ā Ā Ā ā

ShaneĀ wasĀ theirĀ leader.Ā Ā he took care of his people and did what he thought was best for them, and yeah, maybe it wasnāt always the softest route but if shane knew anything it was in this shit-hole of a world they lived in now, soft was the last thing you wanted to be. he kept them fed and safe, protected them like they were his own, until he was overthrown. dead man walking, rick grimes, aka shaneās best friend and the husband of lori, the woman heād been sleeping with comes back after being left for dead by shane and his family. the two but heads as truths come to light and finally itās too much. Shane slowly dives deeper and deeper into insanity until itās too much, he decides itās time to leave or heās going to do something he regrets. making an elaborate plan, he releases a fugitive theyāve been holding and draws rick out into the woodsāā he tells rick his plan and confesses to releasing the fugitive if only to give rick a reason to tell everyone he was dead. before he goes to quietly gather his things, he gives rick the one thing that means the world to him, his number 22 necklace. silently he gathers what supplies the camp can spare and starts off into the woods.
below i will be discussing how this verse ties into current seasons and how shane can interact with the characters in the newer seasons.
