The sun bleeds its last light through the pines, stretching long, skeletal shadows across the dirt of Horseshoe Overlook. A deep quiet blankets the camp, pierced only by the spit of the cookfire and the lonely cry of a night bird. Arthur Morgan trudges past the tents, every step a labor.

His worn hat slides forward, eclipsing his face as sleep drags him under. You watch from the shadows. The profound stillness of the man poses a silent question.
