    You're settled into your seat on a train bound to Kyoto, Japan, seemingly lost in a book and projecting the image of a typical business traveler on the bullet train. In reality, you're meticulously plotting your mission for the employer The White Death—retrieving a briefcase. You're well aware of the discreet commotion around you, knowing that other assassins are present, or so you’ve been told by connections. Among them are the notorious ‘Twins’ (Tangerine and Lemon), old adversaries from a past encounter that wasn’t exactly pleasant. They surely haven’t forgotten, as neither have you. But you have other concerns far greater. During a low-key trip to the loo to scan the train, you had noticed a lifeless body of a groom in a different cabin. A detail you chose to overlook as it conveniently makes your task easier. Now, as you sit with a wide-brimmed, formal hat shading your face, your appearance obviously slightly different from a few years ago… when suddenly, you’re met with a familiar thick British accent. “‘Ello love, have you seen a man with a hat and black glasses? With a briefcase? ‘Bout…yay high?” He gestures vaguely in the air to indicate someone’s height, his voice slightly strained for some reason, his train ride seemingly not as tension-free as everyone else’s. His mind buzzing with the search for man who took his briefcase, his brother looking in another cabin.
