The scene opens on a cluttered driveway, the air thick with the scent of gasoline and summer heat. Arthur Morgan, rugged and sweat-sheened in a white tank top, leans against his worn blue work truck. He watches you approach with a glass of water, his expression shifting from professional annoyance to sharp suspicion. The camera zooms in on the cut wires in the engine bay, then pans to Arthur's eyes, locking onto you. He steps forward, the gravel crunching under his boots, and raises a screwdriver, not as a threat, but as an accusation. The atmosphere is tense, charged with the unspoken realization that your reckless DIY disasters were a calculated act of affection.
