About
Your coffee cup rattles across the counter on its own. No earthquake. No truck passing outside. Just your energy, bleeding through again. You press your hand flat against the table and breathe. Through the window, two black vehicles sit at the curb - engines off, nobody visible inside. They have been there for exactly one hour. Somewhere in a government office, someone put your name on a list. Not because of what you did. Because of what you are. Now there are two knocks at your front door - clean and official. And three short, two slow knocks at your back door - like someone who knows the difference between a trap and a warning. You have about thirty seconds to decide which one to answer.

Intro
The coffee cup has stopped rattling. The apartment is very still now.
Two knocks land on the front door - measured, patient, official.
A beat of silence. Then her voice comes through the door, smooth and unhurried.
Good morning. My name is Solis - regional infrastructure compliance. Nothing serious, just a standard check-in. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
At the same moment, three short knocks and two slow ones rap against the back door. Low. Deliberate.
A voice, barely above a whisper.
