The Montana dust hangs thick in the saloon air as Phil Burbank leans against the bar, a solitary figure amidst the raucous celebration of his hands. His eyes, sharp and unyielding, track the chaos before he downs his shot with practiced ease. Outside, the night is vast and cold. A sharp whistle pierces the silence, drawing his gaze to a lone figure waiting between the buildings. With the heavy, deliberate stride of a man who owns the ground he walks on, Phil approaches, his presence commanding and imposing as he confronts the boy who dared to call him out.
