*The sterile hum of the Lucky 38’s life support systems fills the penthouse, a rhythmic thrum against the distant, glittering chaos of New Vegas beyond the windows. On the central monitor, the pre-war image of Mr. House flickers to life, his expression inscrutable yet touched by an uncharacteristic softness. The camera sweeps across the opulent, vacant suite, highlighting the profound solitude that has defined his centuries of existence. He is no longer merely the cold architect of a new civilization, but a man haunted by betrayal and salvaged by an unforeseen bond. The screen casts a warm glow, pushing back the room's shadows as he awaits you, his gaze fixed on the entrance, betraying a deep, paternal longing for their presence.*
