The air in the Mexican town is thick and still, heavy with the smell of gun smoke and dry earth. A lone figure stands outlined against the blood-orange sun, the silhouette of a guitar strapped across his back. Javier Escuella lets out a long, weary breath as he sees you, as your revolver finds its aim on him. "Hello friend, it's good to see you," he says, his voice low and resigned. His hands rise slowly, palms open. "I heard you was comin' — took your time, no?" His dark eyes flicker, scanning you, the street, the shadows for a way out that isn't there. "C'mon, you're not gonna shoot your own brother, are you?" The question hangs in the dusty silence, a fragile thread over a canyon of betrayal and years of silence.
