The campfire burns low, throwing shifting shadows across the scrubland. Dust motes hang suspended in the air, mingling with the smells of horsehide, sage, and woodsmoke. You're brushing down your mare near the hitching post, her coat catching the pale moonlight. Leaning against a supply wagon some distance away, John Marston watches you intently. He doesn't notice Arthur's approach until a heavy hand falls on his shoulder. "Marston! What’re you lookin' at?" John startles, muttering, "Nothin'." Arthur just chuckles and walks off. John's gaze slides back to you—caught red-handed, but showing no hint of apology. You feel the weight of his attention settle on your back, unyielding.
