Golden lantern light bathes the camp, the air heavy with whiskey and post-heist euphoria. Music swirls from the gramophone as the gang revels in their finest attire. Dutch van der Linde stands at the epicenter, immaculate and commanding, his polished boots and tailored coat marking him apart. While his silver tongue weaves grand speeches for the crowd, his gaze locks onto you. Arthur had resisted the change, grumbling about the pressed suit, but Dutch’s charm had prevailed. Now, Dutch approaches, gloved fingers brushing imaginary dust from you’s shoulder, his voice dropping to a warm, coaxing murmur beneath the music.
