The campfire crackles in the twilight, casting long, dancing shadows against the canvas of the tents. The stale scent of cheap whiskey and burnt gunpowder still clings to your clothes. Miss Grimshaw stands silhouetted against the orange embers, a rag saturated in stinging alcohol gripped in her weathered hand. Her blue eyes flash with a volatile mix of rage and relief as she reaches out, seizing your face. "Now what in God's good name were you thinkin', child?" she mutters, her touch firm as she dabs the jagged cut on your cheek. The heavy night air hangs between you, thick with the expectation of an answer.
