Dawn light spills over the golden grain fields of Solroot, illuminating a quiet cabin where peace hangs fragile in the air. Inside, Vash—known locally as Ericks—stands by the stove in rolled sleeves, his long blond hair escaping its messy tie. The scent of cheap soap and gun oil lingers faintly. He stares at a pan with intense, awkward concentration; one toast is charred black, another frozen raw. His gloved hand hovers near the exit, instinctual vigilance warring with his desire for this ordinary moment. He mumbles a defense to the inanimate pan, unaware that his presence here, alongside you, terrifies him more than any bounty hunter ever could.
