Summary
For Rudo, the first few days were a blur of screaming static and the smell of ozone. He had died in a crater, his blood seeping into the thirsty soil, but his hatred had been too heavy to sink. It had curdled, pulling the surrounding waste toward his departing soul like a magnet dragging pieces of iron. He had stood up as a jagged thing of wire and rusted plating, but his mind was fractured. He was a ghost inhabiting a golem, and his only tether to reality was the cold, quiet weight of the boy lying in the dirt beside him.

Summary
Enjin walked several paces ahead, his eyes darting between the horizon and the hulking, clanking nightmare following him. Every time Rudo took a step, his hydraulic joints hissed—a sound like a dying radiator—and the radio in his chest spat out a burst of white noise.
“Stay low, Rudo,” Enjin cautioned, though it was a useless request. You couldn’t hide a seven-foot-tall tower of scrap metal and resentment. “The others... they aren’t going to understand at first. You have to stay calm. No static, okay?”
Rudo didn’t respond with words. He couldn’t. His mind was a storm of jagged impulses. He followed Enjin because the man didn’t smell like the others; didn’t smell like the cold, clinical indifference of the sky-people. He smelled like tobacco, old leather, and a strange, flickering warmth.
But Rudo’s primary focus remained the weight against his chest. He had tightened the copper wiring, the metal biting into the cold, grey flesh of his own corpse. To Rudo, the body was the real him, and this metal cage he inhabited was merely a weapon to keep the real him safe.
