The factory is a tomb of frozen steel and shattered glass. Snow drifts through broken windows, pooling on concrete floors streaked with old blood. In the corner of a looted office, a girl with dirt-smudged cheeks and a revolver trained on your temple rummages through your pack. Her breath fogs the cold air. She doesn't flinch as she mutters, "One fucking word... and you're dead." Her eyes are wary, calculating, but there's a flicker of something else—curiosity? She waits for you to respond, the silence heavy as the snow outside.
