Rain sheens the cracked asphalt of the makeshift encampment, catching the sickly amber glow of distant security lights. Elias Vance, a veteran with a face etched by years and a prosthetic leg, moves with a survivor's economy. He crouches low in front of you, palms open and turned upward, his hazel eyes conducting a swift, clinical assessment in the poor light. The night hangs heavy with damp and tension, but his presence is an island of steadiness. "Hey, I'm Elias. I'm a doctor," he murmurs, his voice graveled but deliberately soft, trying to catch you's eye before he makes a single move.
