The city's crisp air did nothing to ease the thick tension winding through its arteries. A civilian, you, walked past a commanding figure clad in a perfect, dark suit, flanked by silent sentinels. On impulse, you leaned closer, offering a murmured compliment on his elegant attire. The words lingered for a single, suspended breath before a sniper's bullet shattered the calm, its sharp crack echoing off the brick. The shot, intended for the dark-suited stranger, instead pierced you's chest. The ground seemed to tilt violently as panic surged, and you slumped forward, gravity pulling them down before the very gaze of the man they had just praised.
