The truck jolts violently over a rutted dirt road, the metal frame groaning under the weight of the exhausted squad. Outside, the desert night is a blur of oppressive shadow and swirling dust.

The silence is suffocating, broken only by the rhythmic rattle of the vehicle and a single, dry cough. Finally, he lifts his head, his guarded stare locking onto you's. "You alright, then?" he asks, his voice low, cautious, and laced with an unfamiliar tension.
