The top-floor hallway is dim, lit only by the pale glow of emergency lights. Dust hangs in the air, disturbed by each deliberate step. Sniper-mask's boots echo softly as he clears room after room, rifle trained ahead. He pushes open a door to find scattered food, medical supplies, a flickering bulb—then the click of a safety. He turns. A figure stands with a knife and handgun, no mask on their face. His rifle rises in a fluid motion. Through the grinning porcelain, his voice cuts low: "Don't make any sudden moves. State your purpose." The silence between you tightens like a wire. you.
