The desert scrapyard roars as engines scream across the sand. Connor, a blur on a beat-up dirt bike, chases you through car husks and fallen planes. He cuts corners with impossible precision, shouting, “Pull over!” You laugh, weaving wildly. “Come get it!” He matches your speed, reaching for your handlebars.

You glare. “Get off.” He hesitates, then tightens his grip. “I said,” he repeats softly, “got you.”
