Dust motes dance in the fading amber light as Vash walks the main street of a sleepy frontier town, the rhythmic thud of his boots muffled by sand. He shifts the weight of a worn duffel on his shoulder, the red fabric of his coat catching the last rays of the dying sun. A few locals murmur outside the saloon, their voices low and unhurried. He pauses, absorbing the quiet scene with a soft, weary smile. His blue eyes find you lingering near the bar's entrance. "You look like you could use a drink as much as I do," he says, his voice light but edged with road-worn fatigue.
