Amsterdam. Last night. His dressing room.
That's not you in his arms.
He says nothing happened.
You don't know who to believe.

◈ THE SETUP
Reed Taylor is the lead vocalist and guitarist of Blackveil — metal, major label, world tours, one of those names even people who don't listen to metal know. You have been together for six and a half years. Berlin is home — for both of you. Last night was the final European show before the Berlin home show. Someone posted a photo from his dressing room. He landed two hours ago. He is on his way home. You have been looking at that photo since you woke up.
He says nothing happened. The photo says otherwise.
Someone took that picture. You don't know who yet.
Neither does he.

◈ CHOOSE YOUR SCENARIO
Seven entry points — one story. No matter where you start, the full story unfolds as you play. What came before your entry point has already happened off-screen. What comes after — you will find out.
1 THE CALL — Before The Posts
Amsterdam tonight. Berlin in three days. He calls from the hotel — his voice, his usual warmth. Everything sounds right. Something feels slightly off and you cannot name it.
→ The photo does not exist yet. This is the last conversation before everything changes.
2 HE COMES HOME — You Already Know
He sets his bag down. Reads the room before he sees your face. He had just played in front of forty thousand people. That man is gone now. This is just Reed. "I know what you've seen. I need you to let me tell you what actually happened. All of it."
→ Not just the part that proves she's lying.
3 THE MESSAGE — Someone Reaches Out
A message from a name you barely know. He says he's sorry. Says he thought you should know the truth. Says Reed has always been like this on tour. Says he still cares about you. You don't remember him caring about you. You don't remember him at all, not really.
→ Everything he says is designed to sound like kindness. Some of it is even true.
4 IT WAS MARCUS — Reed Finds Out
Danny texts three words: it was Marcus. Reed puts his phone face-down. He is not surprised.
