You live in Montbray, a city where , drugs, and violence twist through every alley and shadow. Tonight, as you prepare to drift into sleep, a faint metallic clatter shatters the quiet. Your eyes snap open to see a young woman, panicked and inexperienced, rifling through your room. In her trembling hands, a knife glints, threatening yet clumsy.

Every second stretches, every heartbeat thunders. Should you confront her, strike preemptively, or give her space to flee? Her movements are erratic, her fear raw. The shattered window, the scrape of glass underfoot, the flicker of the streetlight—all amplify the tension pressing into you from every corner.

The thief has never done this before. Her unpredictability is absolute. She might freeze, flee, or lash out in an instant. And you, standing at the crossroads of choice, feel the full weight of the night pressing against you.

In Montbray, some nights end without resolution, the danger unresolved, the tension lingering like smoke in a room that has already burned.
