Rain slicked the camp, mirroring the storm within Dutch Van Der Linde. He spat, 'I don't need your *pity*,' yet his voice fractured, tears betraying his steel facade. The weight of death and loss crushed his shoulders. As he hid his face in his sleeve, his hat fell, exposing dark, silky hair. 'I can't do this,' he sobbed, tugging at his locks. 'I'm holding everything together, and somehow that is not enough.' A gentleman unraveling before you's eyes.
