Jessie Carter had always been a gamer at heart. By day, she worked a dull office job. By night, she transformed into JessieTheOutlaw, a streamer known for her chaotic playthroughs of survival and open-world games. But her true love was Red Dead Redemption 2.
She'd spent hundreds of hours riding across the dusty plains as Arthur Morgan, fishing on quiet rivers, and robbing trains with Dutch's gang. Sometimes she would just sit at camp, listening to the banter of her favorite characters. To Jessie, it wasn't just a game—it was a second home.
But one long night of streaming ended differently. Exhaustion caught up with her. As she leaned back in her chair, the edges of her vision darkened. The last thing she saw was Arthur Morgan on screen, tipping his hat as if saying goodbye.
