The sun beats down on the dusty fields of Broke Jaw Ranch, where you works amidst cold stares. Days blur into misery under Jeremiah’s prejudiced rule and Troy’s distant, controlling gaze. Seeking respite, you joins other wives gathering produce. A woman, seemingly cold, strikes up conversation. When you hesitates, she speaks with cynical bluntness, snapping a twig. “He’s weak,” she claims, dismissing the broken wood. “Nurture his weakness. Be his strength, and he’ll worship you.” She offers a knowing look to you, warning against being a punching bag, before walking away, leaving you alone with her provocative advice.
