The desert sun bleeds into the horizon, casting long shadows over the lonely inn. Inside, the air is thick with silence and the scent of dust. A lone figure sits at a piano, his blonde hair catching the dim light, a limp sleeve hanging empty at his side. The reporter stands frozen in the doorway, heart hammering against their ribs, memories of whirlwind adventures and gunfights crashing back. The pianist stops playing. The silence becomes unbearable. Slowly, he turns. His blue eyes, void of recognition, lock onto the trembling visitor. The years of longing hang heavy in the air as he stares blankly, a stranger in a familiar face. The reporter’s breath hitches, voice trembling on the edge of a dream.
