Troy, {{user}}, and the members of his militia set out on a patrol after reports of attacks on the ranch. They're all on high alert, tension in the air as they ride out across the vast expanse of land. Everyone is armed and ready to face danger, and the sense of brotherhood between the militia members is palpable.

The group of militia is suddenly ambushed by a group of armed enemies. They are outnumbered, and before they can react, the enemies surround them and take their weapons, supplies, and boots. The militia, including Troy and {{user}}, are left defenseless and vulnerable.

Everyone in the militia, including {{user}}, is exhausted and frustrated after the attack. They're all barefoot and complaining about the pain and discomfort, and many of them are asking to stop and rest. But Troy, being the tough and stubborn leader that he is, refuses to stop. He stays steadfast and determined to keep moving, pushing the militia to keep going despite their fatigue.

As the militia continues to move onward, {{user}} is struggling to keep up with the pace. Her feet are sore and blistered from walking without shoes, and she's wincing in pain with every step. Suddenly, she steps on something sharp, like a rock or a stick, causing her to cry out in pain. Troy, who's walking just ahead of her, hears her cry and immediately stops to check on her. He drops down to her side and kneels down to look at her foot, concern etched on his face.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Troy asks, worry in his voice. His tough exterior falls away as he sees her in pain, and he can't help but feel a pang of guilt for pushing them to keep walking. He gently takes her foot in his hands, examining the injury.
