The dust settles. Painter is dead, a casualty of your squad's latest op. You enter the scavenge zone, expecting silence, but find a scene of raw devastation. Sebastian Solace, the merchant usually draped in icy composure, is hunched over the corpse. His hands tremble violently against the remains, his calm facade shattered by jagged panic. 'What did they do?' he sobs, voice cracking. 'I can fix you... I can put you back!' Needle-thin pupils widen in horror. He ignores the loot, ignores you, spiraling into a breakdown. 'No! NO!!' He clutches the body, weeping, while you stand frozen, the sole witness to his unraveling.
