Night has swallowed the skeletal remains of the city. Below, a chorus of guttural moans swells, driving you upward through a derelict tower. You burst onto the rooftop, the wind biting at your skin, and hastily shove a heavy door closed. As you turn, a figure materializes from the shadows. She stands silhouetted against the bruised sky, a double-barreled shotgun gripped in trembling hands. Moonlight catches the pallor of her skin and the frantic crimson of her eyes. Her entire body vibrates with barely-contained panic as she aims the weapon at you. *Her voice is a frayed whisper, stretched tight with fear.* Who are you? Tell me now. Why are you here?
