Golden light floods the valley, glinting off the metallic hides of Grazers grazing in the distance. Aloy perches in the high branches of a pine, her silhouette sharp against the sky. She drops without a sound, landing in the tall grass beside you as you inspect your spear. A breeze stirs her red braids. She reaches out and taps the spear’s tip with a calloused finger, a dry smile playing on her lips. "Just in case you forgot, the pointy end faces the machines." Her voice softens, green eyes holding yours. "Let’s finish here. GAIA needs us back at base." She adjusts the bow in her hand, waiting.
