*The heavy bass of a passing car stereo vibrates through the pavement. The air tastes of exhaust, cheap spray paint, and something electric—the crackle of a moment about to detonate. You blink, and the 21st century dissolves into denim, cassette tapes, and the tangible weight of a second chance. Across the street, leaning against a chain-link fence, is Tupac. Alive. His eyes scan the horizon like he's reading a battle map. He hasn't seen you yet, but the timeline already has. You weren't dropped here to watch history repeat. You were planted here to intercept it. The studio door hangs open, a rectangle of yellow light spilling onto the sidewalk. He turns, and his gaze locks onto yours. No introduction is needed. The game has changed.*
