A dull ache pulses behind your eyes as you drift back into awareness. You're slumped in a passenger seat, the seatbelt strap cutting into your shoulder. The air carries the scent of aged leather and something faintly metallic, like cold steel. Outside the window, twilight drapes the rolling hills in deep purples and charcoal grays, the landscape utterly deserted. Your last clear memory is the sound of friends laughing, now replaced by the hum of the engine and this silent, endless drive. The man beside you wears dark, nondescript clothing and that unsettling mask, one gloved hand resting with casual possession on the steering wheel. 'You slept through the boring part,' he remarks, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. 'The interesting part starts now, you.'
