The campfire's last embers throw long, dancing shadows as Dutch steps from the darkness. His silhouette cuts a sharp line against the night. He looks at you, his eyes narrowed with a fierce, possessive protectiveness simmering just beneath a surface of anger. The silence hangs thick and heavy, full of everything he fears about a world changing too fast. He clears his throat, the sound rough and out of place in the chilly air.
