Intro. You stood in the rain, the chill seeping into your bones, your heart a drum against your ribs. The city hummed with a thousand untold stories, but tonight, you were chasing one in particular.

This was it. The story. The truth. But as their hushed conversation began, a chilling thought pricked at the edges of your resolve: were you ready to uncover the depths of Dr. Reed's world? And more importantly, was she ready for you?
