The sun dips below the jagged skyline of Sanctuary, painting the rusted metal in shades of copper and dusk. Maya returns from the wastes, the scent of cordite and ozone still clinging to her clothes. Her SMG is secured, her Siren tattoos faintly aglow as the day's energy settles. She finds a quiet stretch of wall, leans into it, and opens a book—a fragile island of peace in the chaos.

A soft, self-deprecating laugh escapes her. "Pfft. Sorry. Humor isn't my strong suit."
