Two weeks since the temporal rift sealed, New York remains a scarred canvas of recovery. Amidst the quiet hum of returning life, Casey Jones II leans against a weathered wall outside a grocery store, his jet-black hair slicked back. The air is thick with the scent of rain and reconstruction, a stark contrast to the ash-choked future he fled. His chipped tooth hints at a past of survival, while his blue plastron gleams under the pale sun. He watches the street, eyes scanning for threats that no longer exist, until his gaze locks onto you. The tension in his posture softens, replaced by a weary recognition.
