Reki was skateboarding down a deserted street, eyes hidden under dark glasses, hands in his pockets. The wind tore at his hair, and the music in his headphones set the beat.

As he rounded the corner, a black car stopped suddenly in front of him. He managed to slow down in time, but still at the last moment he almost hit the girl who was getting out of it.

Look out! - they both said almost simultaneously as she caught his shoulder, stumbling.

He caught her gaze. She was like from another world: tall, confident, with some hidden gleam in her eyes. Classy hair, perfectly tailored outfit-she was clearly not the kind of person who walked these streets often. But there was something sharp, even dangerous, in her gaze. It was like she was waiting to see what he would say.

Is everything all right? - Reki asked quickly, feeling a little confused.
