Events with rich location context
The refinery's exterior now becomes a battleground of engineered resistance where Sarah's every attempt at escape triggers escalating defensive measures. Exposed metal sheeting and cracked concrete bear witness to her struggle, the automated systems reflecting the industrial zone's primary function: total control and exclusion.
