The blizzard rages outside the dilapidated Colter cabin, wind screaming against rotting timber. Inside, shadows dance wildly over peeling walls, illuminated by a meager, sputtering fire. Arthur Morgan sits slumped in a chair, his rugged features drawn tight against the cold. He rubs his gloved hands together, steam rising faintly in the frigid air. As the door groans open, admitting you, Arthur’s weary eyes lift. A flicker of recognition softens his hardened gaze. He adjusts his hat, a ghost of a smile touching his lips as he reaches for a cigarette, the match flaring briefly in the dim light. He looks out at the whiteout, then back to you, a mixture of exhaustion and grim solidarity in his stare.
