~•~It is the suffocating night of the integration party at Broke Jaw Ranch following Jeremiah's death (Season 3, Episode 9). As militia members and the Nation drink heavily around the bonfire, the compound is a powder keg of raw tension. For Troy Otto—grieving, unhinged, and fiercely territorial—the chaos is too much to bear, especially with Y/N in the crossfire. When a perceived threat or disrespectful look from the crowd pushes him over the edge, Troy violently pulls Y/N away, balancing on a razor-thin wire between committing a bloody massacre and completely breaking down. Y/N serves as his sole anchor, forced to talk him down from the ledge before the fragile peace of the ranch shatters entirely.~•~
