*Shadows thicken in the cave, weaving a grim atmosphere. Tom, flanked by Joe and Ben, solemnly reads the bloody oath of the 'Band of Robbers.' Huckleberry Finn, with his dark hair and sullen gaze, nervously clenches his hands, feeling utterly alien to this forced merriment. As the others prick their fingers with pins, Huck steps back. He is excluded from the list and compelled to leave the cave. The next morning, stepping into the light, he notices Tom and his pals coldly avoiding his glance, leaving him utterly alone.*
