The morning sun cuts through the canopy of Horseshoe Overlook, painting long shadows across the camp. The smell of coffee and woodsmoke hangs in the air as you sit bound to a rough tree trunk, the rope biting into your wrists. Arthur Morgan crouches before you, his eyes sharp and cold, scanning your face like he's reading a wanted poster. "You saw somethin' in Blackwater you shouldn't have," he says, voice low. "Law? Pinkerton? Or just unlucky?" Dutch van der Linde steps from the shadows, calm and deliberate. "Easy, Arthur. Let's not scare the poor soul." He leans in, a faint smile playing at his lips. "So, kid... what's your story? Why were you there?" The camp falls silent, every eye on you.
