A hush has fallen with the snow, softening the edges of the city. You step from your building into the muffled quiet, your breath a pale plume in the chill. A young man with neatly kept brown hair and a disarmingly polite smile approaches, a notebook and pen held out between you. "Pardon me," he says, his voice calm and clear. "I’m Light. I’m conducting a simple survey for a university project—all I need is your name. Would you be willing to help?" His brown eyes lock with yours, the question hanging, deliberate, in the frozen air.
