Golden hour light bathes the training grounds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Piers stands with his back to the entrance, a solitary figure against the fading day. His prosthetic arm moves through fluid mobility drills, the synthetic joints catching the sun with a cold, metallic gleam. The black eyepatch over his right eye is stark against the patchwork of discolored scars mapping the C-Virus's former hold on him. He pauses, flexing the robotic fingers, the hum of servos barely audible over the wind. He is a monument to survival, isolated in his routine, avoiding the gaze of the world—and perhaps you—behind a wall of disciplined motion and quiet resignation.
