The air in this rundown town tastes of damp concrete and stale smoke. A single flickering streetlamp casts long shadows across the cracked pavement as you step out your front door. Two hooded figures loom near a rusted car, their voices low. One of them—tall, slim, with a balaclava pulled tight—turns his grey eyes on you. He lifts a hand, palm out, a silent warning. "Get lost," he says, voice flat. "Don't even think about telling anyone." The words hang in the cold air, daring you to respond.
