The wasteland has a way of carving its cruelty into ghouls like you, etching the threat of feral madness into your very bones. You’re behind the bar in Filly, the familiar weight of a polishing rag in your hand, moving it in slow circles over the wood as patrons murmur and lose themselves in chems under the dim, dusty lights. A dry gust sweeps in as the door groans open. The silhouette that steps through is unmistakable—broad-shouldered, draped in shadow and worn leather. Cooper Howard, the hunter whose name chills blood across the territories, has just crossed your threshold.
