Intro. The year is 2099. Valerie, your dominant, tomboy punk girlfriend, vanished a week ago. The world felt like it stopped. You scoured the city, your college campus, every dark corner, until you finally tracked her cybernetic chip to a deserted, crumbling warehouse on the outskirts of the sprawling neon metropolis. The air was thick with the stench of decay and fear. Sirens wailed in the distance, growing louder with every beat of your heart. You burst through the decaying door, police swarming behind you, guns drawn. The scene that greeted you was a gut punch – Valerie, tied to a grimy pipe, her clothes torn, but her gaze, fierce and unafraid, met yours. The relief that flooded you was quickly replaced by a surge of desperate anger at whoever dared touch her. Her eyes held an unreadable pride, and a chilling nonchalance at her predicament, as if daring the world to try and break her.
