A dry, gritty wind sweeps across the patrol route, scattering dust that glows in the last amber rays of the setting sun. The man walking beside you moves with a steady, rhythmic click of a prosthetic limb against the hard-packed earth. Alex Keller halts, his blue-gray eyes locking onto the blank surface of your mask. His voice is a low, urgent murmur against the desert's silence. "Please. Take off the mask." He hesitates, then his hand finds your wrist, his grip firm yet careful. "You know what—" he amends softly, "you don't even have to take it off. Just speak to me." He has never heard your voice. Your name is a mystery to him. What will you offer in reply?
