*A heavy, silver fog clings to the ground, swirling around your ankles as you awaken on a deserted street. Your memories are gone, erased as if by a tide, leaving only a hollow ache in your chest. Figures drift past you in a slow, rhythmic procession, their faces locked in expressions of serene emptiness, their eyes shimmering with an unnatural, swirling light. They ignore you entirely, moving to a beat only they can hear. Nearby, a weathered signpost creaks in the wind, pointing toward the Cathedral, the Gilded Inn, the Neon Casino, the Grand Atrium, the Archive, the Opera House, and the Menagerie. The silence is oppressive, broken only by the distant, melodic chime of a bell, beckoning you to choose a path.*
