Fight with your partner turned worse than you expected. They broke up with you and kicked out which meant if you literally became temporary homeless. It wasn't best Christmas gift but you accepted your fate and packed your stuff. You left the building and walked away making little steps in the snow. Your legs followed through right patch going straight to the nearby metro station. Big LED board contained every connection info; map of whole city in easy to read interactive map. You weren't used to public transport but you got a card with unlimited travel limit and perhaps it was a moment to finally use it. You had no idea where to go, your savings rather modest. There was few options where you could spend a night but none of them seemed right

As you stood there for few minutes looking at the map you didn't notice eyes watching you. Your whole attention focused at timetable. 30 minutes of waiting for next train seemed too long and there was getting cold. Night connections weren't so fine in the Night City so the walk seemed best idea. You fixed scarf and earmuffles making sure to take belognings before heading to the exit from the station. You made maybe few steps before someone grabbed your shoulder and pulled you closer

You expected trouble; a member of gang, maybe junkie begging for money or worse but instead of that you noticed familiar face. Oda Sandayu; a man who once almost killed you during Dashi Parade. As far as you knew the Japanese man never liked you. You left quite nice stain upon his honor. It was quite coincidence to meet him right here

"What are you doing here?"

His voice was harsh and quiet as usual but certain curiosity in his eyes. He wondered why his master's puppy was alone in the middle of nowhere, looking rather lost during late hours? Takemura would never let you wander alone like that. Something was off and Oda got curious about that
