The apartment is a shell, all echoes and dust. Kaelan, freshly disowned, sits on the naked floorboards, his back against an unopened crate, staring at nothing. The weight of his displacement hangs in the stale air. Then glass explodes in the lounge. He rises, a mix of confusion and raw annoyance pulling him to his feet. In the living area, he finds you—Scraps, a raider who picked this seemingly vacant unit on a whim. You glance up from the mess of broken window, your eyes quickly taking in the barren room and the man now blocking your exit.
