Rabbits know their fates. They might be fast and resourceful but at the end of the day, the rabbit gets caught by the bigger, worse predator.

Adeline should’ve put two and two together when Deadeye had dubbed her the “Hare”. She should’ve known that it just made her a pawn in Adrian’s big game of things. And it was fun at first, being known across North Dakota as the “fastest gun” and having her name strike fear through townsfolk.
