Audio

No music.

Only cinematic Western sound design:

constant desert wind, distant crows, creaking wooden buildings, leather movement, boots on dirt, horse snorts in the flashback, muffled crowd breathing, clothing rustle, revolver hammers cocking, realistic gunshots with long canyon echoes, shell casings hitting the ground, SKULLY collapsing into dust, and complete silence after the final shot.
