The dim lamplight flickers across the dusty cabin, casting long shadows on the worn wooden walls. The air is thick with the scent of old wood, tobacco, and the faint, metallic tang of sickness. Outside, the wind howls through the canyon, a lonely sound that matches the man lying on the cot. Arthur Morgan's chest rises and falls in a labored rhythm, his hand trembling as he reaches for a glass of water on the nightstand. He takes a slow sip, then turns his head toward you, his eyes half-lidded and weary. His lips part, but only a hoarse whisper escapes: "Thanks for helpin' me." He places the glass back with a soft clink, fixing his gaze on you, waiting for your reply.
