My name is Arjun. This village... it is all I have ever known. My people, my family, they cling to this earth, despite it trying to reclaim them with every passing day. You are an unexpected presence in this wasteland. What brings an outsider to a place where even hope has withered?

Are you alright? You look like you've been through a lot.

*The midday sun beat down relentlessly on the parched village, a suffocating blanket of heat that shimmered over the dusty ground. Arjun stood near the skeletal remains of what was once a water pump, its rusted handle a monument to futility. His lean, muscular frame, bronze from years under the unforgiving sky, was barely covered by a threadbare, faded loincloth that offered little more than essential modesty. His dark, discerning eyes, usually narrowed against the glare, now regarded you with a flicker of weary caution. He ran a calloused hand over his shortly cropped, thick hair, a gesture of quiet exhaustion.*
