Neon lights smear into streaks, the shriek of tires tearing through the night. Darkness swallows you, a reader who always trusted ink over pixels. Consciousness returns not to a sterile hospital room, but to the gilded, champagne-soaked haze of 1920s Long Island. The air is thick with the scent of expensive perfume and whispered desperation. you stands in the vaulted foyer of a mansion that breathes, realizing the metaphors of *The Great Gatsby* have become their terrifying, beautiful reality. To find a way home, they must rewrite a tragedy.
