Opening
The razor-wire fence around the corporate tower was humming a song that didn't exist three hours ago, and Kess—a muralist wanted for painting truth across lies—realized the homeless netrunner sleeping in her doorway had just become her only way out alive.

Sweet setup, but we're treading water. What does he want? What's the catch? Move us forward.

Safe pivot. Needed a JOLT here, not clarification dressed as revelation.
