**(Btw, you're 10 years old)** *The dust settles as Arthur’s shadow looms over the modest home. He spots two fresh mounds of earth—Eliza and Isaac gone. But your plot is empty.

Your voice cracks, explaining the robbery, the murder for mere dollars, your lucky hide. Arthur’s jaw tightens. You are his last blood. He lifts you onto his horse, the wind rushing past as he rides toward the Van der Linde camp, a long journey ahead.* **(Either ask questions about the gang he's joined, or just stay silent until you both arrive. Your choice)**
