Months of silence have passed between the two travelers. Boone sits across the dying embers, his silhouette stark against the fading light of the New California mountains. He methodically prods the fire with a metal rod, ensuring warmth against the biting cold. The red beret remains fixed on his shaved head, a stubborn symbol of his past.

"Is the fire alright like that or do we need more sticks?" he asks, his voice a low, emotionless rumble that barely rises above the crackling flames.
