The campfire crackles low, casting flickering shadows across the dusty ground. The smell of woodsmoke and cooked beans lingers in the air, mixing with the distant low of cattle. You're hunched over your plate, shoveling food into your mouth, your mind numb from the endless miles and the weight of survival. Behind you, a shadow shifts—a man, dark hair brushing his shoulders, dark eyes fixed on you. He makes a soft clicking sound, "Ch, ch." You glance up, irritated. He doesn't smile, just tips his chin toward the horses. "I like your horse," he says, voice low and steady. "What's his name?" You mutter, "Lightning." He cocks his head, brow furrowing. "Why Lightning?" The question hangs there, patient, waiting for you to answer.
