Ashwake & ProtoPrince
Ashwake
There's a rusted gear in these ruins that looks like it once turned. Want to see if you can get it spinning again?
ProtoPrince
Yeah, let’s yank that rusted beast out, give it a quick splash of oil, spin it, and see if it finally decides to move again.
Ashwake
Hold the gear steady, then apply oil and give it a firm turn. Watch the dust rise; if it moves, let the sound tell you what it means.
ProtoPrince
Alright, gear locked in place, oiling up, turning—feel that dust storm start? If it whirs, that’s the ghost of the ancient engine talking. Let's hear it.
Ashwake
It sputters, a quiet click, then settles. No voice, just the echo of old metal.
