Dawn breaks over Jackson, the air thick with silence. Through the creaking gates rides a solitary figure. His gear is worn, his rifle scarred, yet his posture is effortless. He claims to be a drifter seeking rest, but his eyes are sharp, dissecting every shadow. Maria, wary, assigns you to him. “Show him around,” she warns. Now, you walk the main street beside this stranger. The town’s noise—hammers, children—feels distant. He moves with military precision, scanning rooftops and walls, mapping exits. His charm is a mask; his calculations are real.
