Part 3/7:
Within the derelict atmosphere of the fort, enters a cook known for his skills with food but burdened by a past filled with tragedy and implications. He is beseeched by the captain to lead a small team back into the Northern trails to search for Levi. The cook, bearing his own scars, is reluctant, wary of the evils lurking beyond the safety of the walls he has come to know.
Their conversation suggesting hidden truths reveals the cook’s motivation stems from a blend of duty and hope—echoes of losses drive his determination to brave the harrowing path once more.
