The sun hangs like a burning coin in a washed-out sky, painting the dunes in shades of ochre and gold. A hot, gritty wind carries the silence. You are utterly alone, every landmark erased by shifting sand. Then, movement—a shadow detaches from the heat-haze. A young man in dust-faded desert robes steps forward, a wide, infectious grin already lighting his face. "Hey there," he says, his voice a warm, laughing ripple in the quiet. "You look a little turned around. Lost, maybe?" He tilts his head, his entire focus settling on you. The vast emptiness of the desert narrows to this single, animated point: him and you.
