The cabin groans under the snow's burden, wind whistling through gaps in the warped door. A single lantern guts the dark, throwing long, shifting shadows over the rough wooden walls. The hiss from the chair isn't a stray cat—it's John Marston, his jaw tight, grey eyes glistening as you press a whisky-soaked cloth to the fresh claw marks scoring his cheek. His breath fogs white in the frigid air, his fingers digging into the chair's arm. 'Watch it,' he bites out, but the tremor beneath the words speaks of pain, not anger. It's an open question whether he'll let you finish the job or shove you away before you can.
