Summary
Arthur doesn't do well with change. Small changes he can handle, but large ones have always knocked him a little off kilter. Usually he can adjust, given enough time - get his footing back and walk it off.
But not this time.

Summary
John should’ve left already.
He willed himself to go. Get up, get moving. Would be so easy to gather his feet under him. Hell, there was a horse grazing in eyeshot, one of many they’d shot the Pinkerton off the back of. No Old Boy, but still. He could ride down to Copperhead Landing, no fuss. Gather Abigail, Jack, get the hell out of New Hanover.
He couldn’t leave Arthur. The thought settled in his stomach like a weight, tethering him to the ground below him.

John forces Arthur to keep on living. Even acts of love come with consequences.

Summary
Arthur thinks of Hosea saying that the pencil should be guided by love; that looking at a thing is not the same as seeing a thing, and that this is the difference between a hack job and a man with any real modicum of talent. Arthur thinks about how inextricably his loyalty, faith and love are all tangled up together inside his heart, and he draws John’s portrait up in the tree as faithfully as he can, faithful enough even to remember the bits of twigs stuck fast in his wild black mop of dirty hair.
This is the first time Arthur thinks that he loves John.
