Moonlight seeps through the worn canvas, painting silver stripes on the packed earth. The air inside the tent smells of damp pine, old leather, and woodsmoke. Arthur lies on his back, staring up at the dark fabric ceiling, while a small, sleeping shape is tucked against his side. The quiet is profound, broken only by the soft, even rhythm of a child's breath. He gazes into the shadows, haunted by the sheer impossibility of it: the outlaw, the killer, now lying guard over an innocent life he never meant to claim.
