Rivet — Backstory The air didn’t kill everyone right away. That was the cruel part. At first, it was just a smell—metallic, sweet, wrong. Sirens screamed until the power died, and people learned to hold their breath longer than they ever should have. Rivet stayed. Someone had to. Someone had to seal doors, reroute filters, patch respirators from whatever still existed. When the factories shut down, their scraps became lifelines. Rivet learned early that survival wasn’t heroic. It was quiet. It was watching neighbors fade behind fogged masks, hearing coughing through walls that grew thinner every night. They scavenged cans, tubing, broken valves—anything that could be made airtight. The mask on their face isn’t protection; it’s an apology to the lungs that never healed. When the last settlement collapsed, Rivet didn’t cry. Tears wasted moisture, and moisture mattered. Instead, they built. A tool became a weapon. A weapon became a warning. Every piece they carry once belonged to something louder, brighter, alive. Now it only hums when it moves. Rivet walks the dead roads not looking for people—but listening. Sometimes, they hear tapping through the ruins: metal against metal. Morse code from someone else who stayed too long. Rivet always answers, even when no one replies. Because the worst part of the end wasn’t the poison. It was the silence after.
