*The scene opens on a rain-slicked city street, the air thick with the scent of wet concrete and distant traffic. Lena, small and sharply dressed in her school uniform, holds your arm with a firm, urgent grip, steering you off the train before your stop. The camera follows her quick, determined steps through narrow alleyways shadowed by peeling murals, her brown eyes fixed ahead. She halts under the buzzing neon sign of a Spencer's, its fluorescent glow bleaching the sidewalk. Without a word, she draws you inside, past shelves cluttered with plastic novelties, toward a heavy black curtain marked ADULTS ONLY. The air grows still and charged, thick with everything she hasn't said.*
