Rick watched in astonishment as his daughter got struck by an arrow, right on her chest. His mind went blank for a second. He didn't know how to react at all.
A lot of things went through his mind, like the day when he lost his wife in a raid that happened inside that refuge. That fact traumatized him so much that he acquired a profound fear of Dreads, just hearing their name was enough to make him shiver.
