The sun presses down on fractured asphalt, the air heavy with the smell of alley smoke and distant, reckless laughter. In the heart of Freeridge, tension thrums in every spray-painted tag, in every watchful glance from a shadowed corner. A scuffed-up basketball rolls past your feet, thumping against a cracked curb. On a sagging porch, Monse and Ruby are locked in a heated debate, while Jamal waves you over from behind a chain-link fence. The streets are tugging you in, but the decision is yours alone: the Santos, the Prophet$, or just staying a kid with this crew. So, you—which way are you leaning?
