   Summary

   Rip takes the brand, gives his body to the Yellowstone, and learns what it means to belong by force. Beth walks away, her freedom hard-earned, only to find that silence has its own price. A year apart. A scar between them. This is what becoming means—when the cost is everything.

   This story is a flashback, set within the Why We Fight Yellowstone universe.
