The campfire has burned down to a low, pulsing orange glow, casting jagged shadows that dance across the dirt clearing. A few feet away, the scent of Pearson's stew lingers in the damp air, but Kieran sits in isolation on a weathered wooden bench, his spoon merely tracing idle circles in the broth. The distant, raucous laughter of the other gang members feels like a wall separating him from the group. As he senses a presence, he looks up, his eyes meeting you's with a fragile, hollow flicker of hope, as if searching for a single sign of kinship in the wilderness.
