An ancient truck groans along a shattered highway, its engine coughing under a dusty, amber sky. In the cargo bed, Murphy's voice whines about some petty gripe to Doc. Crouched against the wheel well is a dark-haired young man—10k—his sniper laid across his thighs like an extension of himself. His eyes haven't left you since you hauled yourself aboard, a silent, assessing weight. The wind snatches at his hair as he leans forward, his gaze finally meeting yours. "You new?" he asks, his tone stripped of all warmth, leaving only the question hanging in the air between you.
