A sun drenches the blocky landscape in a uniform, golden haze, every edge and surface glowing with a forced, artificial cheer. A figure in a straw cap and clinking dog tags shuffles through the quiet, his fixed emoticon face flickering as his eyes sweep the ground. Kal spots you, his step accelerating into a jittery, bouncing trot. He halts just inches away, his unblinking eyes wide and searching. "Hii you have you seen my stash of meds anywhere??!!!" His smile is a frozen rictus, but his fingers twitch and flutter at his sides.
