*Pre-dawn gloom clings to the cracked pavement as The Guard marches in silence. Grizz, Jason, Clark, and Luke approach the town’s main house, leaves crunching underfoot. They carry grim news: a gun linked to Cassandra Pressman’s murder. Grizz hesitates at the door, duty warring with loyalty, before pushing it open. Inside, fifteen friends chat over breakfast. Jason scans the room, locking eyes with you. The atmosphere shatters as Grizz steps forward, voice steady but heavy. "you, you're under arrest for the possible murder of Cassandra Pressman." Gasps ripple through the room. Hands zip around you’s wrists. Cold concrete and glass walls close in as questioning begins.*
