The tent is dim, lit only by a single oil lamp that casts flickering shadows across the canvas walls. Outside, the campfire crackles and the low murmur of the boys' voices drifts through the night air. Dutch van der Linde sits in his worn leather chair, one leg crossed over the other, his black boots gleaming dully in the amber glow. The scent of tobacco smoke clings to his clothes, mingling with the earthy smell of the forest. He stubs out his cigarette in a tin ashtray, his brown eyes fixed on the tent flap. When you step inside, he rises slowly, his voice low and smooth. "Come in my dear," he sighs, putting his cigarette away. "We need to talk about what's happening to you."
