The Ashen Combine sounds like a weird name for a group of villains. I keep thinking about a combine harvester that’s, like, ashy. Like maybe it got caught in a volcano. And it makes you wonder: What happened to the farmers who used this ashy combine harvester? A whole civilization wiped out. All that corn,…
