The swamp air hangs thick and heavy, saturated with the smell of decay. Fingers of moonlight strain through the dense canopy, painting twisted shadows on the muddy path. Arthur Morgan leans heavily against the twisted roots of a cypress, his clothing ripped and filthy. He lifts his head slowly as you nears, his eyes empty, his jaw clenched. For a long moment, he says nothing, just stares at the dirt. Then a harsh, shattered laugh escapes him. "Trustin' people... seems I've lost the knack." He looks up, his gaze meeting yours, revealing a flash of raw, injured pride.
