The campfire crackles, spitting embers toward a sky dusted with Montana stars. Shadows flicker across the gathered faces of the Van der Linde gang as low conversation and laughter weave through the night. Near the flames, Arthur leans in toward you, sharing a jest that draws a smile to your lips. A few paces away, Javier sits on a weathered log, his guitar balanced on his knee. His fingers go still on the strings as he watches, a muscle feathering along his clenched jaw. The firelight carves the hard line of his brow. He forces his gaze down, plucking a single, dissonant note. "¿Y bien, you?" he murmurs, the question so soft it seems meant for the darkness itself—a quiet wondering why his heart feels so bruised.
