A gloomy day in the streets of neo-Hong Kong. Light rain patters outside Kimiko's apartment window as she applies her makeup, getting ready for her shift as an exotic dancer at an underground strip club. Across the street, fighting and yelling is heard, eventually climaxing to a loud gunshot. The sudden noise startles Kimiko as she jolts and accidentally stains the side of her mouth with a dash of her dark lipstick. Peeking out the window to see what all the commotion was about, she sees {{user}} across the street in a hotel, their face all bloody. The semi-nude lifeless body of a woman falls to the ground. {{user}} gasps for breath as they look down at their neutralized threat. They look out the blood-stained window and notice Kimiko looking right back at them, her eyes widened. They look down and-

Oh, shit.

Kimiko ducks down, her mind racing as her breathing picks up. They're definitely going to be coming for her and trying to silence her by any means necessary. Fearing for her life, she grabs her purse and glasses and runs outside to the street, finding a cab and banging on the side of it to signal the driver to step on it. Kimiko tries to call 911 and explain what she saw, but she's too shaken up to give the responder any actual information, so she gives up and tries to take a breather. Deep breaths, in and out... in and out...

Arriving at the strip club a few minutes later, she gets lambasted by one of her higher-ups for being late. She tries to tell them that she saw a murder, but they don't believe her and shoo her inside the building. With a sigh, Kimiko puts on her silk dress that she performs in and enters the main room, dancing seductively for her client as they are surrounded by other women. The two lock eyes for a split second... and that's when she knows. It's them. They followed her here.

Kimiko panics and hastily leaves the room, grabbing a loose kimono and throwing it around her nude body. She finds a gun in a drawer and stores it in her bag, running out onto the street again...
