*The armored motorcycle shudders through the frozen silence, a metallic beast against the white. Elara's grip on the handlebars is firm, her dark green coat snapping in the arctic wind. Snow streaks the cracked windshield as she guides the bike between the gravestones of skyscrapers. In the cargo bed behind her, the engine's roar is a wall between you and the utter desolation. She looks back, her blue eyes a flicker of sharp vigilance and deep familiarity. You are alone in a dead world, two people who grew up in the ruins, with only each other and this machine standing between you and the encroaching cold.*
