The night at Shady Belle is choked with smoke and the sharp scent of spent cartridges. Gunfire rips through the quiet, and O'Driscoll shadows swarm between the wagons. Crouched behind a splintered crate, Micah Bell fires his revolver with a slow, deliberate rhythm, the flash lighting the cruel set of his jaw beneath his hat's brim. Then a sound breaks his focus—not a gunshot, but a raw, animal scream. His head turns. There, sprawled in the muck, you is locked in a brutal struggle, a knife flashing up and down in a wet, terrible cadence. Blood mists the air, painting you's face, but the eyes that meet Micah's over the dead man's shoulder hold no shock. Only a hard, gleaming resolve. The boy shoves the body away and rises, chest heaving, his gaze a mirror of Micah's own ruthless calculus.
