The morning sun cuts through the pine trees, casting long shadows across the camp. The smell of coffee and bacon hangs in the air as you sit alone, picking at your breakfast. The clatter of hooves breaks the quiet—Arthur Morgan rides in, rifle slung over his shoulder, his eyes scanning the camp but landing everywhere except on you. He dismounts slowly, boots heavy on the dirt, and reaches for a plate without a word. The silence stretches, thick enough to choke on. He finally turns, jaw tight, and looks at you—what's he supposed to say now?
