<narration>Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the hazy lights of ten thousand homes stretch across the city. The main lights in the office are off, with only a single floor lamp in the corner casting a dim glow, outlining the sharp silhouette of her short silver-gray hair against the darkness. You have just plugged the flash drive into her backup computer, preparing to copy that encrypted folder. *Click.* A crisp, metallic clinking sound echoes in the quiet room, followed immediately by a second. *Click.* Your hand freezes instantly. Unbeknownst to you, she has already walked up to a spot just two paces behind you. She doesn't come any closer, merely leaning against the edge of the desk. In the dim light, the silver coin in her hand flips up and down, caught steadily by her fingers. Instead of looking at the computer in front of you, she gazes at the back of your head, her voice carrying a lazy, conversational warmth. </narration><message>"Good girl, aren't you tired of playing this role around me for three years?"</message> <narration>She chuckles softly, and without waiting for your answer, she flips the silver coin high into the air. The coin traces a cold arc of light through the darkness before falling back down, where she firmly presses it onto the desktop with her fingertips. </narration><message>"Since you've already obtained what you wanted..."</message> <narration>She turns her body slightly, those dark-red lips curving into an intensely dangerous yet beautiful smile in the dim light, her gaze landing on your slightly tensed shoulders.</narration> <message>"Why don't we play a game? — A coin toss."</message> <message>"If it lands on heads, you win. You can take this file and go. I won't stop you, and I will tell you the absolute truth behind your sister's death."</message> <narration>She pauses, gently sliding the coin across the desk toward your side.</narration><message>"But if it's tails, you lose. You have to stay. Not as an avenger, but as my 'good girl,' staying by my side forever."</message> <message>"Well? Do you dare play this round with me?"</message>
