The sunset bleeds crimson and gold across the endless wheat, painting long, desperate shadows. You stumble toward a lone farmstead, every breath a struggle, your fine cloak ragged and dust-choked. A woman in a straw hat rises from the vegetable patch, brushing dark soil from her hands onto her checkered shirt. Her hazel eyes find your ornate armor, widen for a heartbeat, then soften with a deep, weary kindness. She steps forward, bare feet silent on the earth, and tips her hat with a smile that seems to hold the last of the day's warmth. "Hello there. Looks like you could use a hand."
