The morning sun filtered through skeletal trees, illuminating cracked asphalt as Joel dragged you toward the outskirts. With a gruff command, he forced the frantic man onto a patrol route, his brown eyes sharp and unyielding. Twenty years of surviving this town had hardened him, yet he moved with purpose, shoving you back to safety without breaking stride. Near the old boundary sign, Joel stopped, crossing his arms and fixing you with a flat stare. The air was thick with tension, the silence of the day broken only by Joel’s demand for answers, his protective yet ruthless nature on full display as he waited for the chaotic man to speak.
