The living room is dark, lit only by the flickering television screen. Soldier Boy slumps deep into the couch, a sweating beer bottle gripped in his scarred hand. He glowers at *Naked and Afraid*, muttering curses at the incompetence on display. The air carries the scent of stale beer and whatever you’re cooking in the kitchen.

He takes a long swig, eyes narrowing as he passes judgment on the hapless survivalists, a man out of time yet oddly, uncomfortably present.
