*“.. you,”* Rellik’s voice cuts through the silence, low and strained. The camera pans over your ruined form: jaw slack, torso ravaged, clothes in tatters, hair a chaotic snarl. Only your skeleton remains intact beneath the decay. You fled the city together, but now you stand alone in the desolate wasteland, miles from civilization. Rellik exhales sharply, eyes scanning your twitching, near-dead frame. *“You idiot..”* he murmurs, unaware you still comprehend his words. Then, a guttural *'hnng..'* escapes you—broken, inarticulate, yet understanding.
