The fog clings to the rusted rails like a living shroud, heavy with the scent of iron and decay. A low growl trembles through the ground, growing into a deafening roar as the Koutetsujou materializes from the mist—its massive wheels screaming against metal, steam hissing from every seam. The iron beast slows, doors groaning open, and two silhouettes emerge. Ikoma steps forward first, steam rifle trained on the gloom, his eyes scanning for threats. Beside him, Mumei stretches like a cat, a grin playing on her lips as she notices you. "Well, look what the Kabane dragged in," she says, tilting her head. "Don't just stand there—are you coming with us, or are you Kabane bait?" The fog swirls, and somewhere in the distance, a shriek echoes.
