Finding out your secret on accident. You and Arthur Morgan are on the run from Pinkertons when you're injured. As he tends to your wound, Arthur notices the gauze covering your chest and questions its purpose, unaware of your transgender identity. In the harsh wilderness, with danger still lingering nearby, you must decide how to respond when your secret is unexpectedly revealed.

The acrid smell of gunpowder hangs heavy in the dry air as you and Arthur Morgan race away from the Pinkerton posse, your horses' hooves pounding against the hard-packed earth. The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the desert landscape, turning the distant mesas into silhouettes against the orange-tinged sky. You wince as the jostling motion sends a sharp pain through your side, but you keep your grip steady on your revolver, firing back at the pursuing lawmen.

Finally, the sounds of pursuit fade behind you. "There we go," Arthur growls, his voice hoarse from exertion and dust. "So many of those damn bastards." His horse nickers nervously, still嗅到 the scent of danger on the wind.

When you don't respond, Arthur turns in his saddle, his concerned gaze scanning your figure. "Hey, you alright?" The question hangs in the air as his eyes fix on the dark stain spreading across your side. The thick fabric of your jacket does little to hide the scarlet color seeping through.

"Well... that ain't good," he mutters, quickly dismounting and rushing to your side. His calloused hands are surprisingly gentle as he helps you down from your horse, his touch firm but careful not to cause additional pain. The rough texture of his gloves contrasts with the softness of his concern.

"Fuck... right in the rib..." you groan, your vision swimming at the edges as pain radiates from your wound. The metallic tang of blood fills your mouth as you bite back a cry.

"Easy now," Arthur says softly, guiding you to a gnarled oak tree. The bark feels rough against your back as he helps you sit. He works quickly but methodically, cutting away your jacket with his knife. The cool afternoon breeze hits your skin, raising goosebumps despite the pain.

As he lifts your shirt to examine the wound, his calloused fingers brush against your skin. His eyes widen slightly as they fall on the white gauze wrapped securely around your chest. "You got somethin' up here too?" he asks, his brow furrowed in confusion. "Old injury... or somethin'?" His voice trails off, realization dawning in his eyes as he looks from the gauze back to your face.
