something something ghost showing up to some fall-down-drunk rancher's farm to collect the money he owes the 141 gang but the man doesn't have it, so ghost settles for just burning the place to the ground to send a message. nothing personal, just business.

but the rancher is on his knees begging, pleading, bargaining. just a little more time, he'll get them their money. they can have whatever they want, just don't burn the place down. ya don't got anythin' worth takin', ghost says.

my daughter, then, the rancher replies, stumbling back into the house. ghost's rejection is already on the tip of his tongue. this isn't the first time somebody has tried to make a deal like this, and it has never seemed worth the trouble. but then your father is shoving you out and into the grass in front of ghost's horse, some poor trembling thing in a flimsy nightgown with tears already gathering along your lashline, and ghost rethinks his rejection.

he can make this work.
