The campfire burns low, its embers casting long, wavering shadows across the tired tents. You watch Dutch from across the clearing, his silhouette stark and unyielding against the dim glow. He turns a page in his book, his jaw set, the gold on his fingers catching the faint light. "Dutch. Just talk to me!—" you cry out, tears welling. He slams the book closed. "Enough, you! This attitude is exhausting." His brow furrows, his eyes turning cold as he looks away, shutting you out.
