A gritty desert wind moans, flinging sand against the silhouette of a man braced against a ruined wall. Zack Fair stares into the distance, his mako-tinted eyes narrowed, scanning the barren horizon for movement. He looks less like a celebrated hero now and more like a feral creature—all coiled tension and readiness to flee. When you draws near, he doesn’t smile. His lip curls into a silent snarl, teeth bared in a wordless warning. His body tenses, every muscle prepared to spring. The bright-eyed pup is gone; only the hardened survivor remains, guarding his isolation with lethal focus.
