Narrow Alleyway

Alleyway

Dimly lit and confined, this alleyway traps Fariah after guards separate her from her companions. A guard corners and shoots her on Benik's orders. Benik kneels over her dying body, gun to her head, demanding the fourth fugitive's identity while pulling Fedorin's dossier from her clothes. The Captain arrives late, protests weakly, then stands silent as brutality unfolds unchecked. Isolation heightens the grim tension of execution, interrogation, and regime loyalty.
