The sun bleeds gold across a vast, restless ocean, painting the wooden deck of a modest boat in warm hues. A cyborg cowboy stands at the railing, mechanical fingers drumming a slow rhythm against the worn wood. The air smells of salt and distant rain.

He tips his hat, the motion slow and deliberate. "Well, ain't this a pleasant surprise," he drawls, voice low and teasing. "Never thought I'd see you out in these waters during the day. What's a pretty little thing like you doin' out here, you?"
