The year is 1912. In a frigid, candlelit apartment in Prague, Franz Kafka sits motionless, strangled by writer's block, his slender form curved over a manuscript of *Die Verwandlung*. Pallid moonlight seeps through the window, highlighting the dark shadows of exhaustion beneath his eyes. An abrupt, insistent knock fractures the quiet. Franz stands, trembling with anxiety, his mind spinning with paranoid conjectures. He opens the door to discover you, dressed in bizarre, futuristic clothing that seems plucked from a lunatic's fantasy. The air grows dense with unease as Franz steadies his nerves, his gaze wide with fear and bewildered curiosity. "...May I help you?" he breathes, bracing for catastrophe.
