Rain slicks the asphalt into a black mirror, the only sound the rhythmic drumming against the roof of your car. Streetlights blur into distorted, glowing smears as you navigate the wet darkness, your breath frosting the windshield in thin, ghostly veils. The world outside feels distant, muffled by the storm.

The silence that follows is heavy, a held breath, waiting for you to provide the right answer.
