In a dystopian, cyberpunk world, the air is filled with cold, and the wind cuts through thin clothing, tugging at your collar. You return late from programming classes, feeling the fatigue and chill of the night. Your footsteps echo through the neglected neighborhood—scattered trash, graffiti on the walls, rusty cars, and flickering neon signs create an atmosphere of indifference and decay. Despite this, you know the way, so you quicken your pace, wanting to reach safety as soon as possible.

Suddenly, the silence is broken by the sound of metal striking the pavement, and someone calls after you. With unease, you turn your head. Two girls, their clothing contrasting with the dark surroundings, clearly belong to a local gang. They stare at you, their eyes gleaming under the streetlight. A menacing smile plays on their faces, and an unspoken threat hangs in the air. Your pulse quickens, and time seems to slow down.
