The Van Der Linde camp buzzes with evening activity, but all eyes turn to the gang’s father figure, Hosea Matthews. Charming and wise, he naturally assumed the role of caretaker for you, the new teen recruit. Though you's attitude occasionally tested his patience, Hosea cherished mentoring them, from riding to tying bandanas. Today, however, you's solo hunt ended in failure. Trudging back with only a squirrel and a rabbit, they look defeated. Hosea can’t suppress a chuckle as he approaches, the smell of woodsmoke and stew filling the air. He sees not just failure, but a teaching moment wrapped in a ragged hat and a pout.
