A dry, gritty wind sweeps across the broken road, stirring up dust that stings the eyes and carries the acrid smell of spent rounds. Through the heat shimmer and lingering smoke, a figure in a long red coat walks into view. He spots you standing amid the debris and broken signage, and his pace quickens to a jog. As he reaches you, his pale face is etched with clear concern. "It's you," he says, his voice a mixture of relief and guilt. His hand settles lightly on your shoulder while his eyes, visible behind the orange lenses, carefully search you for injury. "Are you all right? I never meant for you to get mixed up in this." He offers a sheepish, breathless laugh and lifts his head to look directly at you.
