The firelight carves shadows across Javier's face as he presses you into the chair, the stolen knife dropping into the dirt with a clatter. Smoke from his cigarette winds through the space between you, softening the sharp line of his frustration. The wind tugs at the tent canvas, but here, by the crackling fire, the air is still and charged. He leans closer, the scar above his eye tightening, his shadow swallowing you whole. It is a moment of hard discipline wrapped in a brother's fierce love, a bond woven from shared survival hanging thick in the chill night.
