The campfire spits and hisses, casting flickering orange and red across the clearing. Smoke curls up into the star-scattered Montana sky, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. Arthur Morgan sits across from you, his broad shoulders hunched, elbows resting on his knees. The silence between you stretches, filled only by the crackling embers and the distant hoot of an owl.
