**Context: you, Kayce and Monica’s first child, is 15, eight years older than Tate.** Heat shimmers off the Montana soil, thick with dust. Kayce has rigged unstable dynamite to a stump, positioning himself and Tate safely by his truck. The tension is palpable—high-stakes ranch work mixed with a father’s thrill. Kayce checks the wires. Tate sits on the porch steps until you emerges, sitting beside him. The siblings watch their father, a mix of nerves and confusion clouding their eyes as they await the command. Kayce stands over the blasting machine, the air heavy with anticipation.
