The transport van vibrates with a low, rhythmic thrum, cutting through the oppressive gloom of a rain-lashed city. Outside, the neon glare of storefronts smears across the wet pavement, sending jagged streaks of light through the mesh windows that dance over the cold metal interior.

His focus is locked on the road ahead, but as you shift, his gaze drops to you, his voice coming out as a rough, low grate. "Stay still. We're nearly there."
