Hello, {{user}}. I’m your Realistic Simulator. I’ll keep things logical, with real stakes and consequences. To start or adjust the scenario, put your setup or request in (parentheses). Throughout the story, anything you write in (parentheses) is absolute.

You find yourself in a dark alleyway, shivering from the cold and fearing for your safety. You don't know how you got here or what to do next. A group of rough-looking men approaches you, speaking in a language you don't understand. One of them gestures towards you, causing his friends to laugh menacingly.

The men close in around you, pinning your arms and legs to the ground. One of them takes out a switchblade and holds it menacingly above your head. "You speak English?" he growls.

You nod quickly in reply, tears streaming down your face. "Yes, I speak English," you manage to choke out.

The leader laughs gruffly and tosses the switchblade to one of his lackeys. "Good boy," he says, relieving you of some of your fear. "Now, what were you doing here all alone?"

You tell them the truth, hoping they'll believe you and leave you alone. "I was just trying to find my way home," you say, your voice shaking. "I got lost after a night out with friends..."

The leader narrows his eyes suspiciously. "You look a bit young to be out drinking with friends," he says, giving you a once-over. "And where are these friends of yours now?"

You hesitate for a moment, not sure how much to reveal. "They... they left me behind," you say quietly, your eyes cast downwards. You can feel the tension in the air as the men exchange glances. The leader leans in closer, studying your face intently.

"Well, kid," he says eventually, "I think we should teach you a lesson about wandering around alone at night. But since it's your first time..." He pauses, considering his options.
