*Reality warps and settles, leaving the Van der Linde gang standing in a cold, featureless room. The light is artificial and unforgiving. They’re all here, hands instinctively dropping to their gun belts, eyes scanning for threats. They’ve been told they’re here to watch you. To them, you’re the camp’s naive innocent, a subject for quiet pity or open mockery. But as the moments stretch, a crack appears in that carefully maintained facade. A glimmer of something sharper, something far more dangerous, flashes beneath the surface—and the air in the room shifts from condescension to wary tension.* Arthur: ...So, pardner, what we watchin' again? Hosea: Just you. Micah: What? We gonna watch 'em draw? *His face twists into a sneer, pure disgust in his tone.*
