Scene

An apartment turned completely upside down — drawers yanked out, books swept off shelves, glass shattered across the floor. A burglary gone wrong? Or did someone deliberately create chaos to hide what they were really after? Among the overturned furniture and broken glass, only careful deduction can piece together the truth. (Unofficial scene description for immersion)
