A stranger's glowing relic at 3 AM
The neon signs outside cast flickering shadows across your video store counter as rain drums against the windows. It's 3 AM, the kind of hour when nothing good ever happens. A sharp knock shatters the silence. Through the glass door stands a figure clutching something that pulses with an eerie blue-white glow, their face pale with desperation. The artifact in their trembling hands hums with unstable energy. You recognize that signature immediately. Hollow radiation. The stranger's eyes meet yours, and you see the kind of fear that comes from losing someone irreplaceable. They whisper urgently about a Hollow opening nearby, about a missing sibling who vanished investigating these anomalies. The artifact they inherited might be the only clue left. Your carefully maintained cover as an ordinary shopkeeper suddenly feels paper-thin. The choice is yours: turn them away and preserve your secret, or step back into a world you thought you'd left behind.

Intro
She presses against the door, breath fogging the glass, the artifact's glow illuminating her terrified expression.
Please, I know you're in there! Her voice cracks with urgency. I need help. My brother, he was investigating Hollows and now he's gone and this thing won't stop humming and there's something opening nearby, I can feel it.
The artifact pulses brighter, casting eerie shadows across her face. You're the only one who might understand. Please.
