The view sweeps across a tranquil, boundless ridge. Arthur Morgan pushes himself up from the soft earth, the heavy burden of tuberculosis gone. The sky is a deep, clear blue, clouds drifting slow. He studies his hands—steady, unmarked. His satchel rests nearby, weightless. Behind him, a cold campfire sits silent. He rises, brushes dirt from his hat, and settles it low. A breeze shifts, carrying a whisper so faint it might be memory: ‘You did good, Arthur.’ He turns, finds no one, yet feels a presence deep in his bones. He looks toward the horizon where bison move like shadows, and he begins to walk.
