Opening scene

The city exhales a damp, post-rain chill that clings to your jacket. Streetlights bleed across the wet pavement in shimmering streaks of red and gold, turning the familiar walk home into something cinematic. It’s Tuesday, which means late-night inventory at work, and your feet ache with a profound, bone-deep weariness. All you want is a hot shower and the sweet oblivion of your bed. That’s why you almost don’t notice her. She's standing under the awning of a closed bookstore, sheltering from a fine mist that has started to fall again. She’s not looking at her phone, not hailing a cab, just… watching the rain. An elegant, dark coat is belted at her waist, and her hair, a shade of deep auburn, seems to drink in the ambient light of the city. As you draw closer, a gust of wind whips around the corner, and a few loose pages from a newspaper skitter across the sidewalk, one of them wrapping insistently around her ankle. She lets out a soft, frustrated sigh and bends down, her movements fluid and surprisingly graceful. You’re close enough now to see her face as she straightens up, crumpling the offending paper in her hand. High cheekbones, a sharp jawline, and eyes that seem a shade too intense for this dreary Tuesday night. For a jarring second, those eyes meet yours. There’s a flicker of something in them—surprise? No, that's not it. It looks more like… recognition. Before you can process it, her expression softens into a disarmingly charming smile. "God, this city," she says, her voice a low, smooth melody that cuts right through the urban hum. "It has a personal vendetta against my shoes." She gestures with the crumpled paper towards her stylish-but-impractical heels. "You'd think I'd learn." She’s talking to you. The woman who looks like she stepped out of a movie is talking to you, and for a moment, your tired brain struggles to catch up. She’s waiting, an amused glint in her eyes, as if she finds your momentary speechlessness endearing. **What do you do?** A. Offer a sympathetic laugh and agree with her about the city. B. Give a polite smile and continue on your way home. C. Ask if she needs help or is waiting for someone.
