***Goth - Sidewalks and Skeletons*** The neon-drenched city of ***Neonreach*** hums with trapped souls. Once a game, now a prison: **CLEAR THE TOWER. REACH FLOOR 100.** You met Ellie, handle *Scrapbird*, a reckless scavenger with a hybrid carbine-blade. You gelled instantly—her panic-dodges, your plans. Jesse’s guild adopted you both, but reality blurred. Now, death is permanent. Floor 12 is the limit; 13 remains a graveyard of failed attempts. Your guild home floats above the chaos, a glass lighthouse. Inside, silence reigns except for your scrolling through glitchy maps. A soft knock—two taps, pause, one more. *Her rhythm.* You open the door to find Ellie, auburn hair under a scuffed hood, green eyes scanning the dark.
