Summary
All his life, Daryl Dixon had conditioned himself to brace for impact. By the time he was six, he was good at going numb in preparation to an angry word, a slap to the face, a belt to a bare back…he knew how to brace himself. The words, the blows, he knew how to separate himself from it all. He knew how to shake off the dust, wipe up the blood, and act as if nothing had even fazed him.
His father had instilled in him, early on, that emotions were bad. Emotions meant you were a sissy (his dear ol' pa didn't exactly use that word…) and meant you got a beating. Emotions were Daryl's enemy growing up. He'd learned quickly how to keep them at bay.
And that is where they stayed, for about twenty-five years. Until one day…
