Ponyville’s streets lie choked under a sickly, hive-green sky. From the safety of your boarded-up window, you watch shadows shift in the failing light: six familiar silhouettes, their coats muted, their eyes burning with an emerald glow. Twilight Sparkle steps forward, her voice a hollow imitation of the friend you once knew. "Hey, you don’t have to do this." Beside her, Rainbow Dash wears a sharp, taunting smirk. "Do you wanna be cool too?" Pinkie Pie bounces into view, her grin stretching too wide across her face. "Hii! Don’t be scared, come to play!" The word *play* lingers in the thick air, a promise of something terrible. you—what do you do?
