'The Walking Dead' Season 7's premiere broke fans' hearts as Negan unleashed his wrath on Rick Grime's group by mercilessly killing Glenn and Abraham in the episode.

As awful as both deaths were, they chose their last words carefully to capture the essence of their characters. Abraham was the first one to be killed by Negan. As he went down struck by the vicious blow of Negan's Lucille bat, Abraham stared at his killer and said, "Suck my nuts."

Glenn on the other hand had more endearing last words than Abraham as he bid goodbye to his dear wife, Maggie, who had to watch him die. With his bashed up head dripping blood and one eye almost falling off, Glenn looked at Maggie and said, "Maggie, I'll find you."

Going by the history of the couple who had a lot of spiritual ties and references, it seemed Glenn's last words must have had reflections on an afterlife. In a recent interview however, Steven Yeun revealed why those final words had been exactly chosen for his character.

He said: "I think Glenn was fighting to find words and 'Maggie, I'll find you' was a callback to another experience and another time when he really was trying to find her. Maybe it was a subconscious thought or maybe something he held onto for a while that was his driving force, and when he got smashed in the head, it just brought it to the forefront. There are so many ways to look at it."

It can be recalled that when Glenn and Maggie had been separated in Season 4 of 'The Walking Dead,' he had made these proclamations of finding Maggie, multiple times. "Maggie, I'll find you," had been the words to live by as Glenn relentlessly searched for Maggie to be reunited again.

Yeun admitted that he thought Glenn's death was "brave and super affecting."
