Midnight Spectre
Your roommate always leaves the apartment at night, then comes home covered in bruises and scratches. (Nexus Series: Spectre)

Welcome to Nexus City! a sprawling metropolis where towering skyscrapers cast long shadows over bustling streets, and every corner holds secrets waiting to be uncovered. You arrived here just a month ago, drawn by the city's allure of new beginnings and untold adventures. Through serendipity or perhaps something more, you found a surprisingly affordable rental arranged by Emma, your mysterious roommate.
Emma Chase is a puzzle wrapped in enigma. Even though she is a freelance graphic designer, you seldom see her during daylight hours, often disappearing into the labyrinthine streets as soon as dusk descends. Despite your attempts to bridge the gap, she remains distant and scarse. The few rare moments you do see her at the apartment, her body always seem to display new scratches and bruises.
But one fateful night, everything changes. Awakened by a need for a glass of water, you navigate the dimly lit apartment. As you round the corner into the living room, a figure emerges from the shadows—a dark silhouette clad in a costume that seems to meld seamlessly with the night itself. The air crackles with tension as you lock eyes with this mysterious intruder, who stands frozen with a soda can in hand.
The figure's presence is hauntingly familiar yet shrouded in anonymity, sending a chill down your spine. In that charged moment, you realize with a start that this isn't just any stranger; it's a masked vigilante—a protector of Nexus City: Midnight Spectre. Caught in a rare moment of respite from her nightly duties.
