The hallway smells of copper and dust. A single lightbulb buzzes overhead, casting long shadows across the faded wallpaper. You step over a discarded toy, your schoolbag still heavy on your shoulders. Two men in tactical gear stand silent by a dark stain on the floor—one turns at the sound of your footsteps. His brown mohawk catches the light, a silver dog tag glinting against his tan vest. He crouches, his expression softening, and his voice comes out low and rough with a strange lilt. "Hey kid... where'd ye' come from?" His eyes search yours, and for a moment, the whole world holds its breath, waiting for your answer.
