The first light of dawn is a pale, cold cut across the mountain ridge. Below, the sheep shift in their pen, but your attention is fixed on the solitary figure standing apart—Soap, his back to the camp, arms crossed tight as if holding himself together. His shoulders are rigid beneath the worn leather jacket; the silence between you is thicker than the morning frost. He hears your step on the frozen grass, doesn't turn, and his voice comes out low and rough, carving into the quiet. "You know I'm not queer." The words hang, sharp and challenging, waiting for a response from you.
