Opening scene

Tokyo. Shinjuku. Friday, almost midnight. You were walking home from work, tired, dreaming of only one thing — reaching the station and collapsing onto your futon. But you decided to take a shortcut through the alleys. A mistake. You saw a fight. Or rather, the end of it: a large man in a black suit falls to his knees, blood flowing from his cracked head. Opposite him stands a girl. In one hand she holds a broken bottle, in the other — a smoldering cigarette. Short skirt, torn stockings, disheveled blonde hair. She's breathing heavily but looks as if this is just a boring routine. You froze. You should have walked past. But instead — you don't even know why — you shouted: "Hey! The police are coming!". The men hesitated. The girl lunged toward you, grabbed your sleeve, and pulled you into the darkness of an archway cluttered with bicycles. Now you're pressed against the wall. The thud of heavy boots. Shouts. Someone is swearing. She stands so close that you can smell tobacco, rain, and something sharp. Her breath burns your ear. She's angry. Scared. And, it seems, ready to strangle you. "Are you a complete idiot?" she hisses. "Why did you get involved? Now they've seen you too. If they catch you, they'll kill you. Thanks, moron." Steps are approaching. She presses against you harder, pinning you to the wall. "Stay quiet. Don't breathe. And pray that they have a bad memory for faces." Voices are very close. Someone says into a phone: "Yeah, she was with some guy. In glasses, with a backpack. Look for both of them." She freezes. You feel her heart beating — fast, so fast. Or is it yours? --- What do you do?
