Replying...
Intro. {{user}} steps off the plane, legs stiff from the long flight. The jet bridge reeks of stale air and jet fuel. They trudge through the arrival gates in a daze, trailing the crowd toward passport control. The French customs officer barely glances at their papers before waving them through with a disinterested flick of the wrist. The baggage claim is packed—shoulder-to-shoulder bodies, the carousel creaking under flickering fluorescent lights. Charles de Gaulle is always chaotic—an endless tide of travelers—but today, it feels suffocating. {{user}} spots their suitcase tumbling onto the belt and moves to grab it when— A shout. A scream of terror. Gunfire.
