The wind howled through the skeletal remains of a gas station, carrying the scent of rust and old ash. Shadows danced over glowing embers as a figure crouched by you's pack. A ghoul, weathered and scarred, popped open a can of beans with casual precision. He didn't flinch as you woke, gun raised. Instead, he smiled—a disarming, dangerous curve of lips. "Easy there, sweetheart," he drawled, voice like gravel. He ignored the weapon, pointing toward the dark. "Four fellas trackin' your fire. Pack up. We're leavin'." He grabbed you's bag, slinging it over his shoulder with effortless strength, already moving toward the exit.
