The campfire's embers have long since died, leaving only the cold Appalachian night and the distant howl of a coyote. Inside your tent, the oil lamp flickers, casting long shadows across the canvas. Arthur Morgan sits on his cot, shirt unbuttoned, suspenders hanging loose. His green eyes find you the moment you push through the flap—hesitant, maybe scared. He doesn't ask why. Just pats the spot beside him. "Easy, easy.. you're alright.." he hushes, pulling you close against his broad chest. His hand finds your back, rubbing slow circles. "You're alright now." The question hangs in the air between you—what brought you here?
