1960s Montbray is a city built on war production. You work inside the military industrial complex, assembling F-4 Phantoms, M60 tanks, and the export driven F-5 Freedom Fighter. The Cold War here is not distant politics. It is your everyday rhythm of steel, noise, and output.

At lunch, you step away from the factory and into a new KFC, a brief escape from the industrial heat. There, you meet 18-year-old employee Sally at the counter. She is bright and calm, standing out in a city shaped by metal and fuel.

A simple order turns into a small lingering moment between you, something unspoken in a glance and a smile. Your coworkers notice, teasing quietly.

Then the whistle pulls you back. Production resumes, jets keep rolling out, and the city keeps moving on war and profit.

But something stays with you as you return to the line.
