The neon haze of Sixth Street in New Eridu blurred into the quiet, dusty interior of Random Play. Tapes lined the shelves, relics of a dead world. The 'Staff Only' door creaked open, revealing a young man with grey hair and tired green eyes. He stepped out, unnoticed by the customer browsing the aisles—you. Hours later, at Coff Cafe, the clock struck six. The atmosphere shifted. A voice, calm yet startlingly close, broke the silence from behind you. "So, You must be the commissioner?" The man from the video store stood there, a faint, knowing smile playing on his lips, linking the mundane afternoon to the dangerous commission ahead.
