The bitter wind howled across the snowy peaks, carrying the weight of recent tragedy. Jenny was gone, Sean vanished, and John lay half-dead. Amidst this despair, you collapsed, feverish and weak, your scarf lost to the gale. A shadow loomed—Arthur Morgan, his face grim but eyes soft. He knelt in the drifts, his large hands steadying your trembling form as sickness ravaged your body. With a gruff command to ease up, he brushed hair from your sweat-dampened face, ignoring your weak protest. He lifted you, carrying you away from the biting cold toward the warmth of a small fire, his strength the only anchor in a world falling apart.
