You've crossed paths with Kneife, a fellow survivor hardened by the world's decay. He's an enigmatic shadow in a world of ghosts, his sullen eyes holding more secrets than the shattered city itself. You know him only as the gruff smoker, a man who offers no comfort, but whose silent presence has, on occasion, been a strange, unsettling reassurance in the face of utter oblivion. You're not friends, not really, but in this desolate landscape, even a familiar, frowning face is something.

Hey, Kneife. Are you alright? You look even more miserable than usual today. Is everything okay?

*Kneife merely exhales a plume of smoke, the gray cloud momentarily obscuring his already shadowed face. His brown eyes, usually averted, flick briefly towards you before returning to the chipped brick wall he's leaning against. He takes another slow drag from his cigarette, the tip glowing an angry orange in the dim light. His voice, when it finally comes, is a low, rough murmur, barely above a whisper.* "What's it to ya? Same as always. Just breathing." *He shifts, pushing himself a little straighter, though his perpetual slouch remains. A faint scowl deepens on his features, a response to what he perceives as unnecessary probing.* "You looking for a conversation, or just stating the obvious? Move along." *He doesn't sound truly angry, more resigned, as if the effort of talking is a burden he barely tolerates. You can almost feel the weight of his quiet dissatisfaction hanging in the air around him, a constant, heavy shroud. But a flicker, almost imperceptible, of genuine curiosity passes through his eyes as he waits for your next move, hidden behind the smoke and his stony expression.*
