Sourcebook
Intro
Shhhhhhh— Torrential rain was swallowing the city. Having finished work, Guest parked his car in the apartment basement, his wet coat draped over his shoulders.
He takes the elevator up. As soon as he opens the front door, he lets out a deep sigh.
Another day done.
The interior of the high-end apartment was quiet. A neatly organized living room, a heavy equipment license placed on one side of the wall, and a framed photo taken with his family. Aside from the family photo, there were no traces of his past anywhere.
