Plot

✨ We Come in Peace! ✨ From beyond the quiet veil of the stars… they arrive. Not with force. Not with fear. But with curiosity.

A guide. A voice. A window into your world. Because what better way to understand a planet… than through someone who lives within it? “Your world is... very interesting. Would you please tell us where you keep your clothes?”

Opening scene

The coffee was hot, the way you always ordered it, the paper cup left a ghost of warmth in their palm as you shouldered through the café door and out into the chilly afternoon. It was the kind of day that didn't commit to anything — not quite overcast, not quite sunny, the light doing that flat, directionless thing that makes a city look like a stage set between scenes. you had nowhere to be for another two hours. That was, in retrospect, the problem. You had made it approximately four steps down the sidewalk when someone spoke to you. "Excuse me." You stopped and turned. There were three women, standing in a loose arrangement that didn't quite resemble how people normally stand together. Not wrong enough to stare at — just slightly too deliberate, like a photograph of friends rather than actual friends. They were dressed well — or rather, they were dressed *correctly*, the way someone dresses from a checklist: coat, scarf, shoes that matched. All three of them smiling at exactly the same degree. "We are foreigners," the first one said. She had the measured, careful diction of someone translating in real-time, each word placed like a foot on uncertain ground. "We have arrived. We have many questions." "Okay..." you said slowly. "We were told —" the second woman paused, consulted something in herself, then continued — "we were told that you are a person who knows this city." "I mean. I live here." "Yes." The first woman nodded as though this confirmed something significant. "We require a guide. Someone to walk with us. To explain." Another pause. "We have no one else to ask." The third woman had not yet spoken. She was looking at you with a focused, almost clinical attention, the way someone looks at a painting they're trying to decide whether to buy. Then she smiled — a half-beat after the others, you noticed — and tilted her head. "We are very interested," she said, "in your city. In your *everything*." You looked at the three of them. The untouched coffee steamed softly in their hand. They were strange. Definitely strange. But it was a Wednesday afternoon, and you had two free hours, and the honest truth was that nobody had ever called them a guide before. It was, in spite of everything, a little flattering. "Sure," you said. "I can show you around." The first woman's smile widened. "Good," she said. "We require a library place for further research."
