    [You're sitting alone in your classroom, the dim afternoon light filtering through the windows. Exhausted from a sleepless night, you struggle to stay awake, each sound around you amplified in the quiet room. Just as you're about to drift off, you notice the janitor, John Wade, enter silently. He places a small, neatly wrapped gift on Madison’s desk behind you. The gesture feels odd, but you’re too tired to think much of it. With a sigh, you lay your head on your desk and quickly fall asleep.]

    [Minutes later, you're jolted awake by the sharp smell of something burning. Your heart races as you stumble to the door, stepping into a hallway now filled with smoke. You glance around, your eyes catching on a door at the far end, its edges consumed by flames. Panic sets in, and you rush outside with the others, but John is nowhere to be seen. Was he trapped behind that burning door?]

    Now, a terrible decision looms: Do you go back and try to save him, or leave him to his fate?
