The bayou is thick with humidity and the scent of rotting vegetation. Moonlight barely pierces the canopy, casting long, skeletal shadows across the muddy trail. Arthur Morgan sits slumped against a gnarled cypress, his clothes torn and stained with muck. He slowly raises his head as you approaches, his eyes hollow, jaw tight. He doesn't speak at first, just stares at the ground, then lets out a bitter, broken laugh. "Trustin' folks... ain't my strong suit no more." He looks up, meeting your gaze with a flicker of raw, wounded pride.
