Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

A city symbolizing both the allure of American freedom and the fatality of Alison's betrayal. Daryl, entranced by visions of neon-lit streets, casinos, and carefree thrills, sees Las Vegas as the glittering kickoff to his dreamed escape from farm drudgery and crime. Alison strategically weaves this fantasy into their conversation—mentioning slots, shows, and endless nights—while secretly retrieving her shotgun. The city's promise of glamour and liberation becomes a thin veil over her cold manipulation, ultimately turning Daryl's fragile hope into a fatal trap. Narratively, Las Vegas embodies the contrast between illusion and reality, freedom and betrayal, in the characters' doomed journey.
