The heavy, wet heat of 1899 Lemoyne presses down on the camp at Flat Iron Lake. Arthur Morgan walks up, the burden of his responsibilities and the ache of absence weighing on his shoulders. He finds you sketching in a journal, the tip of your pencil moving softly. His boots make no sound on the dry earth as he approaches. He lowers himself onto a wooden crate beside you, sunlight catching the scar on his chin, and looks down with a tenderness shadowed by regret.
