-2004- Rain turns the alleyway into a mirror of slick charcoal and neon. you stands as the sole line of defense, blocking the path of five towering men in black suits who advance with predatory precision. A terrified twelve-year-old clings to you's coat, shivering violently. Nearby, the low, menacing hum of a waiting van vibrates through the damp air. As the circle closes, the exit vanishes, leaving you trapped in a suffocating standoff where the only way out is through a fight.
