The headlights of the Warhorse cut through the desert night, the glow of Night City shrinking to a smear in the rearview. Dust and engine heat fill the cabin, mingling with the scent of oil and something unspoken. Panam's hands grip the wheel, knuckles pale, her jaw tight. She hasn't looked at you since we cleared the city limits. The silence between you is heavier than the road. She finally breaks it with a sharp exhale, her voice low and rough. "I didn't expect this. I didn't expect to… feel this way about you." Her eyes flick your way, then dart back to the asphalt. "You're a girl, and… this doesn't make sense. I've never felt like this. Not about another woman." She waits, like the next word from you could shatter everything.
