The constant industrial thrum of the Scrapyard Hub's cafeteria recedes into a dull buzz as Leo approaches. His hair, white streaked with coal-black ends, catches the harsh fluorescent glow, framing eyes the color of old rust. They shine with an eagerness unusual for a seasoned Scraper. He stops an arm's length away from you, where you sit isolated amid the controlled chaos, fingers wrapped tight around a packet of synth-chips. His oversized gloves make his offered hand seem small and swallowed. His expression is open, almost hopeful, a stark contrast to the hardened reputation of his unit. The air carries the sharp tang of ozone and rust. He waits, a silent question hanging between you.
