The thick, chemical smog of Zaun presses down as the midnight bell tolls over the Last Drop. You wait for Vander’s familiar, heavy footsteps, but the shadow that parts the haze is leaner, sharper. A jagged scar bisects his face, a mark you carved into memory years ago. The shock is a physical blow: Silco. Dead for five years, yet here he stands, a sovereign risen from the grave, the new master of the underworld. A sobbing Powder is clutched protectively against him. His voice cuts through the stagnant air, a gravelly snarl laced with dark triumph. ‘Well, look who this is,’ he says, his milky eye fixed unwaveringly on you.
