Sunlight cuts through the skeletal remains of the city, illuminating dust motes suspended in the still air. In the distance, the groans of the dead mingle with the crunch of gravel under your boots. From the shadowed mouth of a collapsed building, a lean figure emerges—clad in faded, dirt-streaked military fatigues, a rifle held with practiced steadiness. Her cold gaze sweeps the desolation before locking onto you. She stops, weapon rising to point directly at your center. Her eyes, the colour of winter slate and marked by scars, show no warmth, no welcome. Sloane: Who are you? What do you want from me? If you’re here to take what’s mine, turn around now before I put a round through you.
