Read individually or investigate in pairs. Before choosing, ask learners to explain their reasoning in English. Compare routes and endings, distinguish evidence from inference, and discuss the unreliable narrator. The three-question debrief checks critical reading; choosing a particular ending is not graded. A full run typically fits a 30–45 minute reading activity, depending on discussion.

The story is fiction, not a report about real people or companies. No external resources are needed. In an LMS, the current scene, case file, notes and debrief answers are saved. The public preview may lose state after restarting.
