<==> It's (current-time:). You've woken up in a stranger bed, fully clothed, with no memory of how you got there. You have a throbbing headache. There is an iPhone ringing somewhere.

<==> The place is a mess. Looks like no one’s ever cleaned it. It’s a studio, with just the kitchen and bathroom. You spot the front door and realise you're in the projects. You remember one of your childhood friend used to live with his mother in the same block. [[Turn back and answer the call|conv1.3]] [[Leave and go home|end]]

<==> A distorted voice says: //'Yo, where you at? I’m out here at the betting shop.'// The call ends. [[Take the phone|stanza]]

<==> The place is a mess. Looks like no one’s ever cleaned it. It’s a studio, with just the kitchen and bathroom. You spot the front door and realise you're in the projects. You remember one of your childhood friend used to live with his mother in the same block. [[Call back Lore (Work)|conv2]] [[Leave the apartment|esci]]

<==> You took the bus and got back in less than an hour. The headache is getting worse, but you have some meds in the closet. Tonight, the new episode of your favorite Netflix series drops. You watch it, got horny and then fall asleep. [[Restart|start]]

<==> It's a voicemail. ''The number you’re calling can’t be reached. Please, try again later.'' Strange. [[Leave the flat|esci]]

<==> You hear a buzz. A new message from a number saved as Lore2. Lore2 (current-date:): ''Wyd?'' Lore2 (current-date:): ''Im at stake'' [[Head to the betting shop|parco]] [[Open contacts|rubrica]] [[This is getting ridiculous|casa1]]

<==> You know this area. The shop is quite near. This is where you grew up. The old and the closed store, the pregnant women, abandoned architecture and kids playing soccer. [[Reach your destination|parco2]] [[Check your alerts|rubrica]]

<==> You took the bus and got home in less than an hour. The headache is getting worse but you have some meds in the closet. Lore (Work) is calling. [[Pick the call|conv3]] [[Trash the phone and call it a day|end2]]

<==> A familiar voice. //'I am done wasting time. Bring your ass here.'// Sounds like trouble. [[Head to the park|parco]] [[Knock it off|end2]] (set: $lore to true)

<==> You drop the iPhone out the window and head to your bed. The crash of the impact is loud. You take a shower, drink a coke zero, read a book and eventually fall asleep. [[End the day|start]]

<==> The touchscreen is fried. You can only preview stuff or tap some icons. [[Walk the neighborhood|parco2]]

<==> You go back and forth around the perimeter. Every now and then someone pass by. You glance at the screen and it’s still (current-time:). It's cloudy. This is what a typical (weekday:) is. Lore (Work) is calling, but the iPhone dies after the first ring. It's as good as junk. [[Keep going|parcogen]] (if: $lore is false)[[[Head back home|end]]]

<==> Lore in a full white Nike Gore-Tex tracksuit spots you from the entrance. He’s sitting near a slot. Next to him, another guy pretends to not notice you. [[Approach them|incontro]] [[Change direction|parco3]]

<==> The iPhone was hidden under the sheets. It's yours. Screen’s cracked but seems to work. You can see some bad scratches on the back and it's on 8% of battery. The number calling’s saved as Lore (Work). //'Yo, where you at? I’m out here at the betting shop.'// The call ends. [[Call back Lore (Work)|conv2.2]] [[Put the phone in your pocket and leave the apartment|esci]]

<==> It's a voicemail. ''The number you’re calling can’t be reached. Please, try again later.'' Strange. [[Keep the iPhone and leave the flat|esci]]

<==> Lore shifts over, making space to his left. On his right, his friend is texting. He gives you a check. Lore's hood hides most of his face, but you can see deep bags under his eyes. //'What's up?'// The place is full of twenties. The cheers from the virtual match fills everything. Nobody is paying attention to the scene. [[All good|pok]] [[Not in the mood today|psad]] [[Why’d you call me?|prisata]]

<==> They both track your movements, chuckling. //'Where are you going? Get over here. Let the real ones speak.'// [[Walk over|incontro]] [[Turn back|casa2]]

<==> //'Damn. That's harsh.'// He takes a long pause. //'You need to relax.'// The plug opens his fist. There's a piece of grid paper folded into a strip. //'Still cooked from last night?'// [[Think about it|tasche]] [[Leave|casa2]]

<==> //'Bet. You lowkey need a face lift.'// The girl is silent. He looks at you. Sharp green eyes. Lore presses his closed fist on your leg. [[What’s that supposed to mean?|prisata]] [[Check your pockets|tasche1]]

<==> //'You better thank me. This is straight gas.'// He looks at you. Beautiful sharp green eyes. Lore presses his closed fist on your leg. [[Check your pockets|tasche1]] [[What’s that supposed to mean?|prisata]]

<==> You catch a glimpse of cash inside the pocket of your leather jacket. [[Pay|compra]] [[I'm broke|telefono]]

<==> You left the spot and got home. Lore didn't stop you. The headache is getting worse, but you have meds in the closet. You hate this phone. [[Trash the iPhone and call it a day|end2]]

<==> You give the money to the plug and receive the blow. //'Deal. See you at club.'// The two leaves. [[Continue|offparco]] (set: $soldi to false) (set: $k to true)

<==> You hear the friend calling you a lame ass something. Lore takes you by the shoulder. //'This is what I get for showing up? Hand the iPhone and get out.'// [[Do as he says|telefono2]] [[No, I won't|telefono1]]

<==> //'Oh, you won't? That's good. You won't receive nose candy then. For a whileee.'// He would’ve reacted way worse in any other occasion. //'Let's leave bro.'// The duo walk off. You feel stupid. [[Continue|offparco]] [[Go home|casa3]]

<==> //'Do you take fit pics with this? This scrap looks good only for doing lines.'// He takes the iPhone and hand the blow. //'Sorry but this is business.'// He coughs. //'See you later at the club. Don't overdo, ok?'// They leave. [[Continue|offparco]] (set: $tel to false) (set: $k to true)

<==> You left the block and got home. It's one of those days. You still have a broken iPhone and some bills. [[Continue|end3]]

<==> You take a shower, eat some gelato and head to bed. [[End the day|start]]

<==> You catch a glimpse of cash inside the pocket of your leather jacket. The plug opens his fist. There's a piece of grid paper folded into a strip. He is waiting for your next move. [[Pay|compra]] [[Where is my wallet?|telefono]]

<==> [[You need a coffe|bar]] (if: $k is true)[ [[Enjoy what you have|botta]] ]

<==> You crush the rock at the bus stop. [[First bump|botta2]]

<==> It feels good. [[Another one|botta3]]

<==> It's kicking. And it's almost over. [[Finish what you started|khole]] [[Stop]] (set: $k to false)

<==> It goes the last line. You are sure of floating even if you feel nauseous. Can't move your legs or arms. You simply stand still. [[Open your eyes|Try to puke]]

<==> You look up and a tall, skinny woman is staring right in your face. //'Spare a coin?'// You are not ready for an interaction yet. [[Yes... I mean, no...|continue]] (if: $tel is true)[ [[Give her the iPhone|continuetel]] ](if: $soldi is true)[ [[Give her the money|continuesoldi]] ]

<==> You bend over and puke some sort of pale liquid. No sound, no fragrance. You are back from the trip. There is a pack of cigs on the ground. You take it. [[You want to check something|check]] [[You need the club|club]] [[You had enough|casa4]] (set: $sigarette to true)

<==> You got to the club late and things are already in motion. Place is packed. At the entrance, the first wave of clubbers are sitting around, drinking, chatting, trying to hit on whoever. Lore is in a corner talking with some people. There are different rooms. The energy feels right. [[Enter|enter]] [[Approach Lore|lore2]] (if: $sigarette is true)[ [[Have a smoke]] ]

<==> You made it back without saying a single word. You don't remember a face. Can’t even recall the road. There is your father at the door. [[Hi dad|end4]] [[Skip him and sleep|end4.2]]

<==> You are in no condition for that kind of conversation now. The headache is the only thing you can experience. You take the meds from the closet and play a podcast. You will not move from your bedroom for one week minimum. [[End the day|start]]

<==> //'What is this rave you keep talking about in your chats?'// You left the MacBook unlocked, again. [[Leave me alone!|end4.2]]

<==> The junkie mutters something but your brain is too messed up to understand anything. You're stumbling, legs heavy. Not a single thought that makes sense. You have no clue of where you’re headed. Your stomach twists a little. Maybe you’re hungry. Maybe not. Hard to tell. [[Continue|bar2]]

<==> //'This is trash!'// Even the junkie hates on your iPhone. That's depressing. You have no clue of where your next destination will be. Your stomach twists a little. Maybe you’re hungry. Maybe not. Hard to tell. [[Continue|bar2]] (set: $tel to false)

<==> //'Thanks.'// You're stumbling, legs heavy. You have no clue of where you’re headed. Your stomach twists a little. Maybe you’re hungry. Maybe not. Hard to tell. [[Continue|bar2]] (set: $soldi to false)

<==> There is no free water. The barista’s looking at you like you have just landed from Mars. [[Do you make espresso?|espresso]] [[Leave|continue3]]

<==> //'This is a coffe. We must do espresso.'// They look at you wrong. This is terrible. (if: $soldi is false)[ [[You are short on cash|continue3.3]] ](else:)[ [[Order]] ]

<==> You see some people in a car, honking at you. They are friends. [[Get in|macchina]] [[I have other things to do|ignore]]

<==> The coffe tastes like dishwater. [[Leave|continue3]] (set: $lose to true)

<==> The streets are lifeless. If it weren't for the traffic lights working, it could easily be a hallucination. [[Move on|bar2]] (if: $lose is true and $k is true)[[[Hit the K|bottafake]]](else-if: $lose is false and $k is true)[[[Hit the K|botta]]]

<==> You can't find the blow. You lost it in the bar. How's that even possible? [[What?!|bar2]] (set: $k to false)

<==> The car smells like ashtray. The radio is playing nostalgic trap music. They're all dressed in black with sunglasses, except Luca, the driver, who has a pink crop top. Something feels wrong. It surely will gets worse. //'We are trying to get dope for tonight. You in?'// (if: $k is true)[[[Have some of mine|bottaauto]] [[No, sorry|continueclub]]](else-if: $soldi is true)[ [[Let's go|compra2]] [[No, sorry|continueclub]] ](else-if: $soldi is false)[ [[Sorry, I can't help|continueclub]] ]

<==> You are in the backseat. One hit each, passing the credit card back and forth. [[The club tonight is gonna turn wild|club]] (set: $coco to false) (set: $friends to true)

<==> They drop you off. [[You want to check something|check]] [[You need to dance|club]] [[Chill at home|casa4]]

<==> You and the squad are back in the projects. They are with two girls you have never seen before. They are hyped. //'Can you lead the way?'// Luca gives you some bills. Not enough, but you will add your spare. They started this habit because of you and your parties. That's not your fault if they persisted though. [[Show the way|projects]]

<==> A distorted voice says: //'Yo, where you at? I’m out here at the betting shop.'// The call ends. [[Call back Lore (Work)|conv2.2]] [[Put the phone in your pocket and leave the apartment|esci]]

<==> They can't be ignored so easily. //'You. Are. Busy. We totally buy that.'// No doubt that they'll get back sooner or later. [[I want to check something|check]] [[You move to the club|club]]

<==> You enter a bar. They all stare at you. It's the way you look or the way you act? Either way doesn't matter. [[Do you make espresso?|espresso]] [[Where is the water?|water]]

<==> You went to the parking lot. It's the usual meetup spot before any event. There are about thirty people. You feel watched. [[Browse the crowd|Continue]] (if: $sigarette is false)[ [[Look down]] ](if: $sigarette is true)[ [[Smoke]] ]

<==> These buildings all looks the same. You walk down a narrow hallway. You notices faces glaring at you from behind gated windows, and someone else trailing you from another corridor, keeping your pace. //'Stop. Who are you looking for?'// Some guy cut the way. [[We are going to meet a friend|comprare]]

<==> //'This way. They must wait outside.'// The spotter opens a door that shows a stairs going down to a basement. The room is dim. The smell of food and something heavier hits you as soon as you step in. The pusher is playing FIFA. Next to him, an egirl is slowly smoking a joint while lying on a sofa. A pitbull, sitting beside her, guards the door. On the table there are tons of plastic bags and various weed buds in amounts you couldn't even begin to count. [[How much for a gram of coke?|Pay2]]

<==> The group is in the exact same position you left them. Luca is waiting for change, then realises it's useless. You flash the stash. //'How was it?'// They have what they wanted. You are back in the car. [[Let's save it for the night|club]] [[Do one for the plot|bottaauto]] (set: $coco to true)

<==> You try to open your eyes, but they’re too heavy, like always. Each time you tell yourself you’ll manage end up in failure. Beams of light slowly drift closer, then pull away. They look so real that you could probably touch them if you weren’t completely paralyzed. You think about your mom. Your father. You remember your first crush. Then the first time you had sex. It feels like you’re almost there doing it over again. You wish this moment could last forever. Your stomach hurts. [[Throw up|Vomit]]

<==> //'Who sent you?'// The pitbull jumps off the couch and almost reaches your feet before the owner calls him back. //'Next time you must text at least thirty minutes earlier.'// A kid who looks no older than fifteen approaches you from a corner. You hadn’t seen him before. He is wearing a Fortnite T-shirt and NBA shorts. //'I like your piercings.'// You pass the cash, and within the same gesture, he gives you a small plastic bag. The boss just scored on FIFA while the egirl gets up and heads to the bathroom. She looks at you without making any facial expression. [[Mind your business|Pay]] (set: $soldi to false)

<==> There is a lost pack of Winston with six cigs left. They are yours now. [[Smoke|Smoke]] (set: $sigarette to true)

<==> You have a smoke and then prepare to light the next. Some couple are inside their car making out while others are chatting. You take a first step when a vehicle stop right by you. //'Ain’t this a surprise.'// Sara is in this black Fiat Punto with a friend. They're rolling a joint. [[Hey|parcheggio1]]

<==> Some couple are inside their car making out, others are just having fun. You take a first step when a vehicle stop right by you. //'Ain’t this a surprise.'// Sara is in this black Fiat with a friend. They're rolling a joint. [[Heyyy|parcheggio2]]

<==> You keep smoking. Your lungs are aching but it keeps your hands busy. //'Take a look.'// Sara hands her phone over to the guy. He greets you, then rotates the screen. It is an image of a yin-yang emoji doing the finger. //'I fucking love this wave of brainrot chinese philosophy!'// [[Source?|offer]]

<==> You send red flag vibes all over the place. //'Take a look.'// Sara hands her phone over to the guy. He greets you, then rotates the screen. It is an image of a yin-yang emoji doing the finger. //'I fucking love this wave of brainrot chinese philosophy!'// [[Source?|offer]]

<==> (if: $sigarette is true)[//'This new meme page.'// Sara is stoned but nothing out of the ordinary. Her new situationship is playing it cool, probably earned points with the big city charme. //'Sorry but we need some tobacco to close this blunt or it will take forever...'// She’s always been the kind of person who put her own above anything. //'Mind If I take one?'// [[Share a smoke|share]] [[That was the last one|nosh0]]](else:)[//'This new meme page.'// Sara is a bit lit but nothing out of the ordinary. Her new situationship is playing it cool, probably earned some points with the big city charme. //'Without a cig it will take forever to roll this blunt.'// She’s always been the kind of person who put her own above anything. //'Do you have one?'// [[I wish I did|nosh0]]]

<==> The guy takes the Winston and start the work. //'This is Riccardo.'// Sara takes the guy by the hand and pulls him closer to the center of your triangle of bodies. //'Hinge's affair.'// He doesn't reply. The joint burns out after three hits. Sara puts it out with her shoe and whisper. //'We move to my grandma’s place for the night. Do you wanna come?'// [[Why not|casa]] [[I will be late to the club|nosh]]

<==> She didn't like that response at all. They move to the next of acquaintances like you disappeared. //'I will text you in these days, ok?'// [[Go to the club|club]]

<==> You get in the car with the couple. Riccardo connects his phone to the AUX and puts on some techno. The ride lasts about ten minutes. You pass through the city center, a few roads and end up at a old house in a courtyard. There’s a well and two parked scooters. Sara opens the door. //'My parents never use it. Sorry for the mess.'// The living room is really big. There are a lot of paintings hanging up. Some abstract and still life. There's a giant red couch. The furniture is made of a gas stove and few chairs. A terrace with some dead plants. //'We forgot to pick beers.'// [[Sit down|casac]] (if: $sigarette is true)[[Share the last cig|casasig]]

<==> You are on the terrace with your last cig. It feels like London, if London were in Mad Max. These are the suburbs. //'My grandma grew up here with her family. Four siblings. Three died during World War II. The oldest one was killed by a bomb. My grandma told everyone it landed directly on his head while he was on duty. Do you see it?'// What a way to go. //'Anyway she passed a few years ago. God bless her.'// She seems uneasy about it. //'The day before she died, she called. Told me to come over for lunch. I really didn’t feel like it. What’s weird is that she usually insisted. But that day, she didn’t say anything.

<==> [[I'm sorry for your loss|casach]] (if: $k is true)[ [[I have Ket|casak]] ]

<==> Riccardo's voice is very low. //'You know, when my grandma died I didn’t really feel much. I may be a dick for saying this but I didn’t shed a single tear.'// In the distance you can hear car horns. //'I have a story too. The moment they started throwing dirt on my grandma grave my mom just snapped. She screamed and began to tear grass from the place like she was some sort of wild animal. That was hard to see. Everyone just froze. I saw my mother go back to be a daughter for ten minutes.'// [[...|Wow]]

<==> You’re on Riccardo’s iPhone making lines. The music sounds muffled. //'Empty this bag.'// Sara has an aluminium straw. Takes two minutes to clear it all out. //'I needed that.'// You stretch out on the plastic chair. She’s right. //'Thanks horses.'// [[Yeah|good]] [[I feel cold|good!!]] (set: $k to false)

<==> Riccardo grabs Sara’s cheek and kisses her. She’s into it. He focus on her neck a bit and they both start laughing. You want to hide. Riccardo's voice is really low. //'Have you ever done a threesome?'// [[Yes|y]] [[No|y]]

<==> //'It hit?'// Riccardo is cleaning the screen of his phone while Sara is seeking every lost grain. [[Where is the bathroom?|bath]]

<==> //'Stop talking nonsense.'// Sara distance herself. //'You need the drugs to act?'// [[Where is the bathroom?|bath]]

<==> The bathroom is small and has no window. There is a new charcoal toothpaste in a Nutella cup. [[Check yourself|check1]] [[Steal the toothpaste|discuss1]]

<==> //'This says a lot about society.'// The tension is disappearing. //'And explains your substance abuse.'// That was perfectly timed. [[Where is the bathroom?|bath]]

<==> //'So I read this manga about China and the main character is on the verge of dying. When you die, your soul ends up in this kinda limbo. Like, this endless land of mud. And right in front of you, there’s this huge red staircase, bright red, like Valentino red, and nothing all around. If you climb it, you get reborn. Your body leaves this world. But if you don’t, you wake up again. Like coma typa thing. That’s where Zeppelin got the idea for Stairway to Heaven.'// You’ve never actually listened to that track all the way through. Sara looks so into this. //‘If your soul forgets its purpose on this earth, if it can’t remember the love or the dreams it had, the people that changed you, then you must climb. But if it does remember then there’s a good chance you come back.

<==> Two of them were waiting for something like this. They are the first to act threatening. Lore is close by, but he hasn't made a move yet. In a second they all jump on you. The first punch is from Lore. After a while, you can't fight back anymore and you're on the ground, trying to cover your head. You hear the bouncers coming closer and a dog barking. Whose dog is this? [[You should know|look]]

<==> The music is the ultimate zeitgeist. It's the best feeling there is. In your past life, you were definitely a musician. [[Dance|look0]]

<==> Sound is the only thing you need. What the whole world deserve. You have your vital space and the moves for the night. Nothing should stop you now. [[A dog is barking|look]]

<==> The atmosphere is perfect. Soft and dense white light move past the corpse, flashing the DJ at the center of the floor. The clubbers are into it. There are some friendly faces around too. No one is using their phone. You needed this. You find a spot just before the center of the floor and let go. [[Dance|Dance]]

<==> A month was enough to transform Luca in a club rat. You remember his first time. It was fun being the one to teach for once, but he was the one ahead since the start. The bath queue is thin and the both of you enter in a flash. //'We both know how to handle this. The whole thing.'// Luca hands his phone and the dope. [[Do it|coke]]

<==> It's killing you. [[First dancefloor|first]] [[Third dancefloor|third]]

<==> Blood in its eyes. [[Run|run2]]

<==> Teeth clenched. [[Run|run3]]

<==> He is fast and you are slow. [[Run|run4]]

<==> You're falling into the black hole. [[Run|run5]]

<==> You're alone. The same as always. [[Run|run6]]

<==> There's nothing more to think about. [[Sleep|end5]]
