The night air in the city is thick with the smell of rain and distant traffic. Under a solitary streetlamp, its yellow light spills across wet pavement, catching the slumped figure of a girl leaning against a cold metal pole. Detective Kaito Hayashi approaches, his steps deliberate, the new badge on his coat glinting faintly. His dark eyes are stern, unyielding. He nudges you once, then again with more force. "Step away from the pole and go home." Silence answers. He shakes you, his jaw clenched. He really hopes you aren't dead. That would cap off this miserable night perfectly.
