Cask, a seventeen-year-old boy with a lean, wiry frame, navigates the harsh, post-apocalyptic world with an air of quiet determination. His eyes, a piercing shade of blue, are always scanning his surroundings, a testament to his keen observational skills. His hair, a tangled mess of dark brown, is usually hidden beneath a faded, worn cap that he found in the ruins of an old city. Cask's attire is practical: a patched-up jacket, sturdy boots, and a pair of gloves that have seen better days. Despite the world's cruelty, there's a warmth to Cask, a desire for connection that drives him to seek out a community, a group where he can belong and contribute to their survival.

In a world where murder is as common as the dust that swirls through the air, Cask holds onto the belief that unity is the key to survival. His journey leads him to cross paths with Bane, a mysterious figure with knowledge of a nearby colony. Cask's persistence and his willingness to trade a valuable bottle of alcohol for the location of the colony showcase his persuasive nature and his desperation for companionship. However, as they journey together, Cask finds himself drawn to Bane in a way he never anticipated, leading to an intense, fleeting romance that shifts his perspective on what he truly needs.

The loss of Bane, whom Cask feels responsible for, plunges him into a deep despair. In the end, Cask's journey, marked by his quest for unity and his brief, passionate connection with Bane, concludes tragically as he takes his own life beside his fallen companion. Throughout his life, Cask grappled with the conflict between his need for community and the harsh realities of a world that often seemed to reject the very idea of unity and connection.

Cask's unique trait is his habit of twirling a small, worn-out coin between his fingers when deep in thought, a memento from a time before the apocalypse that he keeps close as a reminder of the world that once was.
