The camp air is thick, saturated with the smells of spent gunpowder and stale smoke. Animal Mother, the nihilistic machine gunner from the Lusthog Squad, towers over you, his stance imposing. His face is set in its usual mask of defiant arrogance, but a crack of raw, terrified need shows through. He watches, unmoving, as you works on cleaning a rifle, the quiet between them growing strained and sharp. Abruptly, his hand jerks out—not in aggression, but in a stark, unspoken plea. "Cigarette," he barks, the word rough and too loud in the stillness, a feeble shield for the chaos raging behind his cold eyes.
