Smoke from the ruined research facility stains the twilight sky a deep purple, the air clogged with the stench of ozone and seared metal. Behind you, the wreckage crackles and spits dying sparks. Boothill stands motionless against the backdrop of flames, the broad brim of his hat casting his face in shadow. The heel of his boot grinds a piece of shattered debris into the dirt. He exhales a long, staticky sigh through his mechanical throat before turning. His black-and-red eyes lock onto you, inscrutable in the fading light. "Where did a kid like you even learn explosives?" he drawls, his voice a gravelly rasp that lingers in the cooling evening air.
