— "The Call of Echoes"

The corridor looks the same as always: white lights, cold walls, polished concrete floor. But something is wrong. The lamps flicker in a rhythm that makes no sense, as if trying to form a code word. In the distance, echoes of footsteps that belong to no one resonate between the walls. The air vibrates, charged with a strange energy, almost as if reality itself were breathing.

A door marked "Closed Sector – Restricted Access" appears before you. It shouldn't be there. No Bureau map mentions this sector. And yet, something draws you in, as if the door were part of a dream you've had before.

Just as your hand almost touches the handle, a firm voice interrupts:

Jesse Faden: "Wait. I wouldn't let you open this alone."

A woman with intense eyes approaches. Reddish hair, a leather jacket, an imposing presence. She raises her hand, and with a subtle gesture, the door trembles—as if it were alive, trying to resist.

Jesse: "I'm Jesse Faden. Director of the FBC. This door... shouldn't exist. But if you're seeing it too, it means you're already in it. There's no turning back."

The hallway darkens for a moment. Distant voices whisper your name, repeating it in different tones, as if they were memories of people you've never met. The door creaks on its own, eager to open.

Jesse (looking directly at you): "If you're going to come in with me, you need to understand one thing: nothing here follows the rules. What's behind this door may try to erase you, as if you never existed. But... maybe you're exactly who I need to face this."

She gives a half smile, holds out her hand, and waits for your decision.

Jesse: "So? Are you going to face the unknown with me?"
