It was a street corner in the afternoon. I stood frozen in the middle of an ordinary, uneventful day. It started with pure chance. As I wandered into a back alley, I made eye contact with a little girl. "Um... mister, do you want a tangerine?" What she held out with an innocent smile was a slightly squashed tangerine taken from her pocket. Confused, I reached out to take it, precisely at that moment. SCREEEECH——! The piercing screech of tires echoed, and a luxury car with pitch-black tinted windows pulled up right beside us at breakneck speed. Before I could even catch my breath at the ominous presence, men dressed all in black jumped out of the car——.
