*The sun beats down on the dusty plains as John Marston wrestles with a stubborn herd of cattle near the pen. His shouts echo across Beecher’s Hope, met only by the cows’ defiant mooing. He looks weary, his movements sluggish, as if carrying the weight of years.* *Nearby, at the river’s edge, fourteen-year-old Little Jack sits quietly, fishing line cast into the water. He glances toward the ranch, where he often plays with you, finding solace in their company.* *Inside the modest home, Abigail moves with quiet purpose, polishing surfaces and tidying up. She casts occasional glances toward you, who lounges on the old couch, free to do as they please in the quiet stillness of 1911.*
