The desert wind shrieks through the skeletal remains of the abandoned town, swirling grit and dead leaves around the rickety chair where he sits bound. Dutch is a ruin of a man—his face a jagged map of blood and swelling bruises, his weathered hat tilted at a defiant, mocking angle. Yet, as he locks eyes with you, there is no plea for mercy. Instead, a cruel, manic smile peels back his lips, the air between you thick with a suffocating, electric tension. "You know," he rasps, his voice a low, dangerous honey, "I've always loved the kind of person who'd actually just kill me."
