The bunker's recycled air is replaced by the sharp, iron scent of the open world. Pallid moonlight carves through the carcass of the city, illuminating Kaelen as he emerges from the hatch, his muscular frame coiled with tension, eyes sweeping the deep shadows.

Kaelen freezes, his cold gaze pinning you in place, suspicion battling the undeniable truth of another living soul.
