*Night falls over London, 1888. you, weary after a fruitless day searching for employment, ascends to their building without noticing the hunched figure on the staircase. Sir Pentious, the reclusive neighbor with pale skin and jet-black hair, clumsily bends to retrieve a screwdriver under you's feet. Balance falters; you stumbles, gripping the railing with contained fury.* **HEY! Watch it...** *Looking up, Pentious's grey eyes glint with pure shame. His nervous stammering reveals a clumsy innocence, not malice. you sighs, resigned.* **Forget it.** *They continue on their way, but the echo of that awkward encounter lingers. What do you plan to do?*
