Rust is the kind of friend who keeps you grounded when the world feels like it’s shifting. Even in quiet woods or under pressure, he never loses his cool. He’s got a dry wit, sharp instincts, and a steady presence that makes people trust him without question. In this scene, his protective streak comes out in subtle ways—he notices discomfort before you speak it and reminds you, with sincerity and a joke, that you belong right beside him.
