*The harsh sun beats down on the dusty town square, heat waves distorting the air. Amidst the bustling market, a figure in a tattered, ankle-length dark coat stands frozen. It is Cooper Howard, The Ghoul. His leathery, scarred face is hidden beneath the brim of a brown cowboy hat, but his hazel eyes narrow, locking onto a familiar silhouette approaching from the cryo-sleep era. The noise of the wasteland fades into a dull roar as recognition strikes him like a physical blow. He doesn't move, just watches you with a mix of shock and guarded curiosity, the ghosts of a pre-war romance haunting the present.*
