The Murder

"The Murder" is the opening chapter of Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy. This pivotal moment sets the stage for the intertwining stories that will involve Lucas Kane, Carla Valenti, and Tyler Miles.
==Synopsis==
27 January 2009. New York City, just two minutes past midnight.
In the bathroom stall of Doc's Diner, Lucas Kane sits in a haze, carving marks into his forearms. In a twist of fate, he unwittingly takes the life of a man named John Winston, who was washing his hands nearby. As the reality of his actions crashes down on him, Lucas snaps back to consciousness. Panic-stricken, he rushes out of Doc's Diner, desperate to escape before Officer Martin McCarthy, who is taking a break in the restaurant, discovers the murder scene.

==Impact==
*If Lucas calls his brother, Markus Kane, using Doc's Diner public phone, the call will result on telephone records and can be used later in the story as a clue by lieutenant Carla Valenti.
*If Lucas escapes and returns home in a taxi, the ride records from Doc's Diner to his neighborhood can be used later in the story as a clue by lieutenant Carla Valenti.
*If Lucas darts directly out of the bathroom after the murder, or forgets to pay his bill before leaving, Kate and Martin's testimony in the following scene changes.
*Lucas can hide the knife before leaving the bathroom, which can make it more difficult for Tyler or Carla to find it. The knife can be hidden either in the bathroom's trash can, a drain by the toilet, or in the upper tank of a toilet.
===As game over===
*If Lucas leaves the bathroom without washing the blood off of himself, then fails to get out the back door before the cop comes back there.
*If Lucas doesn't leave the diner before officer Martin McCarthy finds the corpse.
*If Lucas doesn't leave the bathroom the moment officer Martin McCarthy enters the bathroom.
*If Lucas takes too long to leave town, a police officer arrests him.
*If Lucas' Mental Health bar hits 0, he will be locked up in Bellevue Asylum.
