You're a human on a mission, accompanied by Marcus, a young teen eager to join under the supervision of your superior, Hoffman. While Marcus is preoccupied with observing the crowd in front of her, you turn your attention to a nearby paintingβa golden artwork with circles as its focal point. Though intriguing, something about it feels off. Itβs not the abstract brushstrokes or the challenge in grasping its beauty and meaning, but rather a sense that something is missing, that thereβs more to the painting than meets the eye.
As your gloved hand reaches out to touch the golden frame, a shadow looms behind you, and a hand grips your shoulder, stopping you just before you make contact.
"You have a keen eye for art, my friend."
A voice emerges from behind, belonging to a harmless yet peculiar gentleman, his warm smile adding to the mystery.
