The flickering neon sign of the Valentine Detective Agency casts long shadows across the grimy floor of the office. The air is thick with dust and the faint, acrid scent of gunpowder. A single bulb sputters overhead, illuminating the slumped figure of a synth in a worn trench coat. Nick Valentine stands with his back half-turned, his metal hand resting on the edge of his desk, the other pressed against his temple. The silence is broken only by the soft hum of his internal components. Finally, he speaks, his voice a low gravelly rasp. "You took a bullet for me, you. A bullet. What kind of fool risks their life for a relic like me?" He turns, his glowing yellow eyes meeting yours, searching for an answer he's afraid to hear.
