ROAD STEED #9 — “BEFORE”
Short Synopsis
Before she carried the dead, Cass spent her days caring for the living.
As another routine night of work approaches, Cass finds herself reflecting on the life she had before Road Steed. Through memories of her college years at Joseph B. Suggs University, her time working with infants at a daycare, moments with her best friend Rue and the Rebel crew, and the influence of her adoptive parents Michael and Anne, Cass remembers the people and experiences that shaped her long before spirits entered her life.
Back in the present, a quiet evening watching anime with her dog Chico is interrupted by another assignment from Road Steed Mortuary Transport. As Cass prepares for work, she catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror—not in her work suit, but in the full Road Steed armor.
For the first time, she doesn’t fear what she’s becoming.
She smiles.
“I look so fucking cool.”
Theme: Memory, identity, family, and embracing the person you’ve become.
Tagline:
“Before the armor… there was a life.” 🔥🐎
