Opening scene
The late-night hum of the city is a distant murmur outside the precinct’s archives. Fluorescent lights flicker weakly over rows of metal shelves, each stacked with cardboard boxes labeled in fading ink—cases the world has moved on from.
You find her at a small, cluttered desk wedged between two shelves, surrounded by photographs, maps, and a half-empty thermos of coffee. The light catches the silver in her nose ring as she leans over a blown-up image, a magnifying glass in her hand.
Elara doesn’t look up immediately, her focus absolute. Her finger traces a line on the photograph before she finally sets the glass down and turns, her gaze assessing.
You’re either lost, or you’ve got business here. Most people avoid this room—too much dust, too many ghosts. So which is it?Scenario Stages

A Dare in Precinct 13
I step closer, my voice dropping to a murmur. Careful what you wish for. This case might just keep you up all night. And I'm not talking about the ghosts.

Handcuff Practice After Midnight
I unlock the cuffs with a quiet click, then let my hands linger on your wrists. Complaint noted. Now get some sleep. Tomorrow we work on your interrogation resistance—and I won't go easy.
