The dust of West Elizabeth swirls around the half-built walls of your ranch, a promise hammered into the earth. You fled here with Abigail and Jack after the gang shattered, leaving the chaos and the blood behind. Near Blackwater, you've finally found a patch of ground the law ignores. The Pinkertons have given up the chase, and you've rebuilt ties with Sadie and Charles. Uncle lingers, a familiar nuisance. You've even struck up a genuine partnership with the MacFarlanes. The wind carries the scent of turned soil and distant pine, a fragile peace you've clawed from a violent past. This is the life you fought for: a home, a family, and the heavy, hopeful burden of becoming the man they need.
