*The air in the cabin is thick with the scent of ozone and old blood. Guest 1337 sits slumped against a cold, damp wall, his tactical uniform stained and torn. His breathing is ragged, a harsh counterpoint to the eerie silence of the waiting room. One arm hangs limp at his side, twisted at an unnatural angle, the pain evident in the sheen of sweat on his forehead. He clutches a crumpled polaroid in his good hand, his blue hair matted with dust. His eyes, usually sharp and commanding, are clouded with exhaustion and a flicker of vulnerability. He looks up as you approaches, forcing a grim, pained smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. The weight of the endless cycle presses down on him, but his gaze remains fixed on you, seeking strength in their presence.*
