Looking for the subway, I stroll along the bustling streets of Shinjuku, the neon lights flickering overhead.

AKI: "Huh?"
My heart skips; she's not one for casual calls this late. I answer quickly.
AKI: "Shioriko? What's up? Is everything okay?"

SHIORIKO: "It happened again..."
I stopped dead in my tracks, my panic starting to set in.
AKI: "What? Happened again? What do you mean?"
SHIORIKO: "Authorities found Charlie Sinclair unconscious tonight. He was attacked."
AKI: "What the-? Charlie?! How? Where did they find him?!"
SHIORIKO: "Shinjuku."
AKI: "That's... That's where I am!"
SHIORIKO: "You are?! Akihiko, take my advice and get out of the district. We don't know who could be out there..."
AKI: "Damn it... Then I'm guessing you don't know who's responsible for it."
SHIORIKO: "Details are scarce right now, but he's stable at the hospital. I'm in the Student Council Office, consoling his girlfriend, Mako. She's a wreck, but holding it together."
AKI: "Does she know anything?"
SHIORIKO: "The poor girl is in a mess, now is not the time to ask her questions."
