SCENE 1 — The Building
I'm inside a large building during a school trip. Everything is chaotic—voices echoing, groups of students everywhere.
I'm with someone whose name I can't quite remember.
Out of the corner of my eye, I notice a man staring at me. He's wearing a white wool sweater with green writings on it. I don't think much of it at first.
Nearby, there's a woman wearing a similar sweater. Suddenly, she leans in and whispers that the man is still watching me.
I glance over. He's turned away now. On the back of his sweater, I see a large number: 6... then 5... counting down...
What do I do?

[[Pretend I didn't notice->Scene 2 - The Warning]]SCENE 2 — The Warning
Panic hits me. I start running through the crowd, shouting at the top of my lungs: "The building is going to explode!"
To my relief, many people hear me and start moving toward the exits.
What do I do?
[[Run toward the parked cars->Scene 3 - Waiting]]
[[Stay behind and look back->Scene 3 - Waiting]]SCENE 3 — Waiting
We gather in front of a row of parked cars, far enough from the building to feel somewhat safe.
Doubt creeps in. Was I imagining it? Will anything actually happen?
I walk along the line of cars to get a better view. Then I hear a strange bubbling sound, like something boiling deep inside.
Smoke begins rising from several points on the building.
What do I do?

[[Run toward the building->Scene 4 - The Explosion]]SCENE 4 — The Explosion
The noise grows louder and louder.
I scramble through a window into the building behind me for cover.
Suddenly, the sound stops—and everything explodes.
A massive cloud of dust engulfs everything. Through the haze, I see an enormous tank rolling out from behind the ruined structure, followed by soldiers beginning their assault. I don't know who they are or where they came from.
What do I do?
[[Hide again->Scene 5 - The Gate]]
[[Move toward the door->Scene 5 - The Gate]]SCENE 5 — The Gate
I'm still hiding, heart pounding, unsure what to do next.
The chaos outside is overwhelming—shouts, gunfire, running footsteps.
Instinct takes over. I edge along the wall toward a large wooden gate, the main entrance to the walled compound we were all inside.
I peek out and see a soldier arguing with a girl, other students nearby watching.
For a moment, I feel like a character in a video game. I step forward, interrupting the argument, and slip past them toward the gate.
What do I do?
[[Cross through the gate->Scene 6 - The Yellow Town]]
[[Stop and watch what happens->Scene 6 - The Yellow Town]]SCENE 6 — The Yellow Town
I step through the gate into a completely different world.
The air is warm and calm. People are shopping, chatting, strolling through a bustling market.
The town is bathed in yellow light—bright, cheerful, alive. Stalls overflow with fruit and goods; voices overlap in happy confusion.
Just beyond the gate, a war has begun... but here, no one seems to know or care.
What do I do?
[[Look at the market->Scene 7 - Beyond the Gate]]
[[Look back toward the gate->Scene 7 - Beyond the Gate]]SCENE 7 — Beyond the Gate
No one mentions the dust.
No one looks back.
Hands pick fruit, voices rise and fall,
the market carries on as if nothing has changed.
I wonder if the gate was meant for escape
or simply to separate those who know from those who can still live.
I no longer hear explosions.
Only the ordinary noise of people.
What do I do?
