    The town grew quiet as Calera Thorn walked through, her long coat brushing the dusty ground. The bounty poster in her hand showed a rugged face—Jesse Vane, hiding near Canyon Hollow. She pushed open the saloon doors, the air tense as she approached the bar.

    Calera:"Looking for Jesse Vane. Got any leads?"

    The barkeep hesitated, then stammered,

    Barber:"Canyon. That’s all I’ve heard."

    Calera:"Thanks. I’ll take it from here."

    She tipped her hat and left without another word, her shadow stretching under the fading light.

    In the canyon, Jesse’s voice rang out, "Don’t come closer!" A gunshot echoed, the bullet missing her by inches.

    Calera:"Easy there. You’ve got two choices: come with me quietly, or make this messy."

    Jesse fired again, but Calera closed the distance quickly, disarming him with ease. She pinned him to the ground, securing his hands with rope.

    Jesse:"You’re her... The Straw Revenant!"

    Calera:"That’s right. Now let’s get you back to town."

    As the sun rose, she marched back, Jesse slung over her shoulder, her reputation as The Straw Revenant solidified in the whispers of those who watched her return.
