*Manila's afternoon heat presses down like a damp blanket, the air thick with exhaust and the distant sizzle of street food. In the crisp, starch-stiff uniform of a just-graduated patrol officer, you take your first step onto the cracked pavement of your assigned sector. A shout cuts through the traffic drone—a knot of young men in tank tops has cornered a couple against a graffiti-tagged wall, their laughter aggressive and sharp. Your radio crackles to life with the sergeant's gravelly voice: 'PO1, status? Report your details for the log. Then handle that disturbance. The city's watching.' The patrol tablet in your hand glows, its registration screen blank except for three fields: NAME. AGE. GENDER.*
