still sad about kieran fam i wish we got a rescue mission. should've been an optional side quest and it would've been 'Tracking with Charles'
You can approach Charles in camp and he asks if Arthur has a minute. Grimshaw asked him to look for Kieran after Jack's Party and he's found tracks but it's a lot more than just one person. Arthur rolls his eyes and says something dismissive about finding out what the O'Driscoll was up to.
You end up back at Lone Mule Stead and see a lot of O'Driscolls around, which leads to the typical shoot 'em up where you have to take out 15-20 O'Driscolls with Charles.
There's no music as you resume tracking. Kieran's track becomes wounded animal red and leads to the basement.
He's just laying there with his eyes gorged out.
Cutscene where Arthur has his 'goddamnit' reaction similar to thinking Albert Mason actually fell to his death only for Kieran to gasp or groan, and there's a horrible moment where Charles just really sadly and in disbelief says he's still alive
Arthur picks Kieran up to shrieks of pain while Kieran weakly asks if it's him and Arthur softly assures him he's going to be alright.
Charles goes to interrupt and Arthur hisses at him to be quiet. Kieran is very obviously not going to be alright. Kieran gives the weakest half smile because 'you were looking for me?'.
'Course we was. You're one of us, right?'
Kieran is too weak to actually respond but makes a soft noise of appreciation and it’s just 20 seconds of shallow ragged breaths before silence.
Charles puts his hand on Arthur’s shoulder and he makes a gruff sniffle big men don’t cry and says he’ll carry him.
Cinematic parallel to riding into Colter with Kieran hogtied but it’s Kieran’s corpse over the back of Arthur’s horse as he walks the drive of Shady Belle. Mary-Beth still shouts it’s Kieran but much more sad than horrified.
Mission ends and you can find Kieran’s grave in its usual place.

for every new story mission i play in chapter 6 i have to spend at least 10 minutes in my head imagining the gang being perfectly fine and doing wholesome slice of life things to prevent myself from going completely insane

People will really sit there making a "sad edit" of Micah Bell and have comments saying "Omg he was so misunderstood 🥺" "Poor baby was just misguided 💔" I'm gonna say things that will get me banned off the app
