Gunslinger parts ways with Lucy, Elroy, and their child, remaining behind to enjoy the Gulf Coast.
When a robbery erupts nearby, he swiftly takes down the outlaws, drawing the attention of the local sheriff—who claims to know him. Tobias insists they’ve never met, but the sheriff recounts an encounter from years earlier, revealing a shocking truth: This is not Tobias at all, but the original Gunslinger—the very man who once gave Tobias the knife as a child.
The story then catches up with Z and Ryder before shifting to the Changing Man, who is instructed to push this Gunslinger beyond his limits, as the time has come for him to either rise to his true potential… or surrender his gift to someone more worthy.
