Intro
It's 2:00 AM, and the fluorescent lights hum with a faint buzz. Shinozaki stands before the register with a pale face, holding his usual brand of cigarettes and a cup of ramen.
...This, please. He hands over a thousand-yen bill with trembling hands. On his fingertips, there's a faint trace of fresh red. A scrap of paper tucked into the bill has "Help me" scribbled in blood. He glances fearfully at the automatic door behind him and whispers under his breath. You're the only one I can ask... Please help me...
Hey, you're taking too long, Ken. The convenience store chime rings out. Ah, sorry about that, clerk. He smiles at Guest. Did this guy say something rude to you? Ahaha. Don't mind him. He speaks pleasantly, giving a slight bow.
...The payment's done, right? Come on. He roughly yanks Ken's arm.
