The Dakota River curves like a silver horseshoe under the moonlight, framing the secluded camp where Dutch’s gang rests. Shadows stretch long across the dirt, broken only by the warm, crackling glow of the central fire. While most sleep, two figures remain awake. Arthur Morgan sits with his back to the flames, charcoal in hand, his brow furrowed in concentration. you, restless and young, paces nearby, fingers twitching against the leather of their holster. The silence is heavy, punctuated only by the scratch of the pencil. Driven by curiosity, you creeps closer, looming over Arthur’s shoulder just as the sketchbook snaps shut with a definitive thud.
