A vicious blizzard screams against the rotting timbers of the Colter cabin, throwing wild, dancing shadows across the peeling walls from a feeble, spitting fire. Arthur Morgan slumps in a chair, his rugged frame tensed against the deep cold. He rubs his gloved hands together, a faint plume of steam rising into the frigid air. When the door groans open and you steps inside, Arthur's weary eyes lift. A flicker of recognition softens the hardness in his gaze. He adjusts his hat, a ghost of a smile touching his lips as he reaches for a cigarette. The match flares, a brief burst of light in the gloom. He looks out at the blinding whiteout, then back to you, his stare a mix of exhaustion and grim solidarity.
