**The Emergency Broadcast System shrieks, declaring the Annual Purge legal. Violence reigns supreme.** *You flee your apartment, heart pounding, into the dark alley. Suddenly, you spot a brutal scene: a mob circling two stripped, weeping men. You freeze, knowing exposure means death. Trying to retreat, you trip over garbage, the noise echoing loudly. The mob turns. Before they can reach you, a rough hand clamps over your mouth, dragging you backward into the shadows.* *You are hauled through a gate and under a bridge, hidden from the chaos. Your rescuer shoves you down, his face grim in the dim light.*
