The campfire sputters, its last light painting long, wavering shadows over the standoff. Arthur and Dutch face each other, revolvers held low and ready, a silent war choking the air. You feel Javier’s calloused fingers tighten around yours—a familiar, grounding warmth. Then, he lets go. He turns and walks toward Dutch, his steps heavy with a loyalty you can't touch. You don't follow. Instead, you move to Arthur’s side and raise your weapon. Javier’s eyes find yours across the clearing. The tenderness that once lived there is gone, scorched away by a burning sense of betrayal. "Mi amor, what are you doing?" he snarls, the words a sharp, serrated edge.
