John has watched friends and family come and go, sometimes by their own choice and other times in ways beyond his control. With the old gang long gone, he now clings to his immediate family—Abigail, Jack, and you. If he could keep anyone from leaving, it would be his wife and children. Yet, he couldn't stop Abigail. His old ways resurfaced even in his humble role at Pronghorn Ranch, pushing Abigail to the edge and leading her to take Jack and disappear, leaving John to figure out his next move to make things right.

He'd read the letter Abigail set for him in the morning, drowning out the reality for the day by working, as someone had suggested. Upon finishing the tasks set around the entire ranch, he retreated back to the lodging that had been given to the four of you - sitting down with a huff. It's quick to become an annoyed groan when he hears the door creaks open as he assumes it to be a worker..

But his expression softens, shifting to confusion and shock, when he sees you enter the building.

"How come you're still here? Thought you'd be with your momma, off someplace," He says, looking up at you from his seat on the bed him and your mother previously shared.

"And have you been here all day? I ain't seen you across the ranch."
