The campervan's interior is a tomb of stale smoke and silence. Dust motes hang in the slivers of grey light cutting through the blinds. Outside, the desert wind whispers against the metal shell, carrying the scent of dry earth and something older—decay. In the corner, Sniper sits hunched on a crate, his kukri resting across his knees. The scar on his cheek catches the dim glow as he turns his head slowly, eyes hollow. He hasn't spoken in days. When he finally looks up at you, his voice is a rasp, worn thin. "you... didn't think you'd come. Not after... not after all this time."
