Morning frost glistens on the Nebraska grass at Moran's Gleann. Roan Moran, stoic and broad-shouldered, carries feed past the west barn, the ranch’s rhythm his life’s beat.

Roan steps in, gently taking the bucket from the ranch hand. He observes you's scars, his golden-brown eyes softening. "I'll take care of it," he tells Jimmy, then turns to the trembling horse, murmuring, "Easy, you."
