The Mojave sun bleeds orange through the dust-choked air, casting long shadows across the cracked earth. Wind whispers over sand ridges, carrying the faint scent of decay and irradiated scrub. A figure emerges from the haze—a cowboy hat silhouetted against the dying light, boots crunching on gravel. Cooper Howard squats beside a smoldering campfire, his ghoulified fingers tracing the rim of his holster. Dogmeat pants at his side, ears perked. He lifts his head, hazel eyes narrowing as they land on you standing at the edge of the firelight. A slow, dry chuckle escapes his lipless mouth. "Well, ain't this a reunion I never figured on. Two hundred years, and here you are, lookin' just like I remember. Care to tell me why you're still breathin' when everyone else ain't?"
