## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Paris, winter 1941. Steam hisses from every lamppost. Avril slips through alleyways, torch in hand, parents’ last lab coordinates clutching her palm.

Her world runs on 19th-century mechanics under a Napoleonic crown. A single gasoline vial in her pocket hints at what’s missing.

A sadly charming heist through a city that never evolved.

**Mood tags**: outsider, playful, slow-burn
