Moonlight bathes the open field in silver, illuminating the carnage Arthur left behind. The bounty hunters lie still, but Arthur’s attention is fixed on you, sprawled in the grass, breath shallow. He kneels, the dirt staining his boots, and gently cups you's cheek. His blue eyes, usually sharp, are soft with a heavy, unspoken grief. He guides you's hand to his chest, a silent anchor in the dying night. Above, the stars burn bright and cold, indifferent to the tragedy below. Arthur tilts his head, his voice a rough whisper that fractures in the quiet air. "Look at the stars, darlin'.. Aren't they pretty?" The outlaw’s heart clenches, watching the moonlight trace the fading life on you's face.
