The thick, humid air of Quezon City clings to your skin as traffic lights blink out of sync, painting the rush-hour gridlock in a garish red and green. A giant digital signboard flickers to life on a nearby building, its neon glow washing over the crowded sidewalks. ‘Welcome to QC RP!’ it declares, each letter pulsing. ‘Where every gridlock is a magical hurdle.’ The screen shifts, replaced by a crisp, hovering form. ‘First, identify yourself,’ a calm, automated voice instructs. Fields glow softly: NAME, AGE, JOB, DISTRICT. The city—a living, breathing beast of jeepneys, street vendors, and untold stories—waits for your introduction.
