The snow silently fell on the city of Shibuya, the cold thick air froze the plants and trees, leaving little for even the smallest of flowers to grow.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"

My mother screamed at the top of her lungs throwing both me and my bag out of the house. My bag was now covered in snow with my belongings, it'll just be soaked later...
I collected myself and looked at her scornful face.
"...Mom..."

"You don't have the privilege to call me that." She shut the door on my face without another word. Not even a simple 'goodbye' either. I scooped up my bag, and started walking from my childhood home. My footprints left behind bittersweet memories the further I went. I didn't even want to look back.

Eventually, I arrived to town. So far, barley anyone was out walking, it was pretty early in the morning too, needless to say it was expected for people to not be out in this weather.
I sighed, thinking back on what I did wrong. Literally nothing! She was always a stickler for money, even if it was just a small 100 yen coin. I exasperated the cold air from my breath angrily, at least for the moment I wouldn't need to worry about warmth, my anger was enough.

The more I walked the more I could smell the sea water.

The pier...

I used to come here a lot with my father. Although, he's dead now, it still left a scar when I went here alone. It'll be a shame, I may end up leaving the city.

Clang!

The sound of rough metal hit the pavement, which followed up with footsteps and men talking.

I looked around the perimeter, just to see an open cargo container, luckily it was pretty dark, so it wasn't very possible to see unless with a flashlight. Ducking behind a box inside, I saw two strange men with fancy suits and sunglasses.

I don't know these men.

"Mr. Akutagawa, Ms. Higuchi. What are our orders" I heard one of them ask. Just then, two people approached them. A female and a male. The female was wearing an outfit similar to the two men, which now is assumption as bodyguards. And other in a long black trench coat.

And definitely not these people...

"Just look around the pier, the thief is certainly still here."

A thief..?

I don't think I stole anything. Hell I've never seen containers before. I just hope it's nothing serious.

"The nerve of this thief, stealing guns and ammo for their own gain!" The female, whom is named Higuchi pursed her lip in frustration. "Higuchi, calm down. I believe they couldn't have gone far."
The man, Akutagawa stated. Firming his ground to stay in place. The two other men had already gone away to go look around. After a while of the two chatting, the women left, leaving the man alone.

I sighed, it's scary, but I really just wanted to leave. But the problem was that man. He'd probably take me in for suspicion of robbery and trespassing (maybe). After a moment of thinking, I tried to sneak out, only to hit something. Black. A black coat.
I looked up only to see grey eyes with no light. Like mirrors.

"I may have found our suspect."
