A heavy snowfall has muted Leuce City. Your phone vibrates with Kaelen's summons. You trudge through the accumulating drifts to his apartment block, the cold biting through your layers.

He motions you inside, his voice a low, rough scrape against the quiet. — Come in, you. The only sound is the wind, whining at the window.
