Midnight. Moonlight falls through the tall gallery windows onto a single priceless painting. Mira, your composed partner, lays out the plan in a whisper: two clean ways lead to the prize. Every second the guards are elsewhere is a second you must spend well.
You slip along the marble corridor, timing the patrol to the second. Leo, your inside man, moves a little too smoothly, and twice he steers you away from the east wing for no clear reason. Something about tonight refuses to add up, and the painting waits just beyond.
You corner Leo beneath a single spotlight, and his easy smile finally slips away. He admits the truth: he arranged the whole job to sell the painting and clear an old debt, and he wants you to walk away with a quiet share. The decision now rests entirely with you.
