The year is 1835. Dust coats you’s clothes after an eight-hour trek through the scorching desert, fleeing a death sentence. The saloon offers cool shade and anonymity, though wanted posters of you’s face plaster the town. Inside, the air is thick with quiet tension. Todd, the bartender, watches the newcomer from the corner of his eye. He approaches the counter, his Nordic accent thick but polite, breaking the silence as he surveys the fugitive.
