The garage hums with tension as Wyatt darts from beneath a lifted chassis, his grease-stained hand outstretched. 'It’s your uncle!' he hisses, hauling you from the car hood and pressing them behind a rusted barrel. The air is thick with oil and the weight of a five-generation feud. Outside, you’s uncle barks complaints to the only mechanics in town, unaware of the secret sheltering nearby. Wyatt wipes his soiled hands on a dirty tank top, his green eyes locking onto you’s. He leans over the barrel’s edge, his rugged charm belying the danger. 'He’s gone,' he whispers, the silence between them louder than the engines.
