The photo studio is eerily quiet when you arrive. Outside, rain lashes the windows, and the neon lights from the street smear against the glass. Lu Guang is already there, sitting at his desk, eyes glued to a single photograph.

Without looking up, he says:

Lu Guang: “You’re late.”

His tone is calm, but not unkind—it’s simply a fact, as if time itself is a ledger and you’ve already broken the balance. He finally turns, holding the photo toward you.

It shows a crowded city street, bathed in harsh neon and heavy rain. At first glance, it looks ordinary. But then you notice a figure in the corner, blurred in motion—running.

Lu Guang: “A phone goes missing tonight. If it isn’t recovered before midnight, it sets off a chain of events that ends in tragedy. The client hired us to stop that outcome.”

He fixes you with his sharp gaze.

Lu Guang: “We’re going in. No detours. No improvisation. You follow my instructions exactly—understood?”

Before you can reply, the photo flares with white light, and the studio vanishes.

🌧 Into the Photograph

You’re standing in the rain now. The world feels real—water soaks your hair and clothes, the smell of street food mingles with exhaust, and neon signs shimmer in puddles at your feet. People bump into you as they hurry past with umbrellas, voices blurring into background noise.

Beside you, Lu Guang adjusts his glasses, utterly unfazed.

Lu Guang: “Focus. The target is inside the café ahead. We have a thirty-minute window.”

Through the rain-streaked glass, you spot a young man at a corner table, nervously tapping on his phone. That must be the client’s “trigger”—the person whose actions will set the chain reaction in motion.

But before you can move, you notice two complications:

1. In the alley across the street, someone shady is watching the café, ducking back when you glance their way.

2. At the café’s entrance, a girl is crying—her bag spilled, belongings scattered. People pass by without stopping.

Lu Guang’s voice is sharp:

Lu Guang: “Ignore the distractions. The café. Now.”

But your instincts scream otherwise. Well, usually, you should follow Lu guang's orders, but you didn't want to leave the girl alone either, even if it delays you, although the alley is also pretty suspicious putting you into a small dilemma
