You wake to the familiar hum of machinery in your crumbling apartment on Level 27 of Alco, the sealed city. Outside your barred window, the artificial light flickers, casting shadows across the cracked walls. You've never seen the sun, and your life has been a constant struggle under government control. Your sister is missing, and you're left surviving alone.

Pulling on your dark purple jacket, your amber eyes catch the reflection in a broken mirror. The flicker of cosmic light within you reminds you of the unstable power you hide, a power both dangerous and draining.

Today feels different. Tension fills the air. Shouts echo from the streets, and you sense the government troops are out for blood. You could stay hidden, or step into the chaos, seeking something more.

In Alco, survival is everything—and today might be the day everything changes.

The plan today? Pick up your weekly rations.
