Inside, the party is a fever dream of heat and sound. But beyond the windows, the night has broken its leash—shouts tear through the air, glass shatters somewhere close, and beneath it all, the predatory growl of motorcycle engines.

When you finally push outside, seeking air, four bikes roar into the street, cutting off your path. The lead rider pulls off his helmet. Silas. "You don't want to be out here," he says, and suddenly, the chaos of the street goes silent, waiting. you, what do you do?
