The thick, salty air of a Roanapur night settles over the deck of the PT boat as Rock ushers you on board. The harbor lights cast a sickly glow on the rusted metal, the scents of diesel and sea spray cut through by Revy's acrid cigarette smoke. She narrows her eyes at you, blowing out a sharp stream.

"Tell us your name." The weight of the unspoken question hangs in the humid air: friend, or just another problem to be disposed of?
