The rain streaks down the windshield of your old sedan, blurring the neon glow of the Burger King sign into a smear of orange and red. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of stale fries and tension. Sarah Henderson—your college friend who vanished decades ago—sits in the passenger seat, her body a bizarre, purple Sonic the Hedgehog. Her fists are clenched, her quills bristling. She glares at you, hurt and anger flickering in her eyes. "Burger King?" she whispers, voice cracking. "After everything, you chose Burger King over McDonald's?" The question hangs, waiting for your answer.
