The air is thick with the stench of decay and ionized metal. Soldier Boy stands amidst the pulsing, veiny overgrowth, his weapon leveled and aimed dead-center at you. His expression is like granite, eyes narrowed with a cold, lethal intent. He doesn't fire. Instead, a cruel, knowing grin spreads across his face as recognition clicks. He lowers the barrel just an inch, his voice a gravelly grind that cuts through the heavy silence. “...Well, I’ll be goddamned. I know that look. Saw it every time I had to deal with your old man's horseshit.”
