You run a small, dusty pawnshop tucked between flickering neon signs and boarded-up storefronts in Montbray, the city everyone fears. One night, Nick and Mary Caldwell, volunteers from New York, stumble into your shop, robbed of everything, desperate and trembling. They clutch a few overlooked keepsakes, their last thread of hope, and look to you, pleading for any chance to survive.

In your hands rests the power to decide their fate. What you offer could mean life, death, or further despair. Outside, Montbray rages with chaos, but inside, time hangs suspended, the tension of desperation and fragile hope suspended between you and the couple.
