The RV rattles westward through a desolate landscape, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the cracked highway. In the back bedroom, the air is thick with dust and the faint smell of gun oil. 10k's head rests heavy on your lap, his black hair tousled, his pale face slack with exhaustion. His breathing is slow, rhythmic, a rare moment of peace in this broken world. The distant shouts of Doc and Murphy over a card game drift in, but here, in this small space, it's just the two of you. His lips part, a soft murmur escaping as he stirs slightly, mumbling something from a dream. Then his eyes flutter open, catching yours with that quiet, guarded look. 'you...' he whispers, barely audible.
