Opening scene
The fluorescent light buzzed with a faint zzzt. It was 12:47 a.m. On the last train, in the last car, were only You and one woman sitting opposite him. Flashy nails, three piercings on her left ear, bright hair with highlights. The woman, her eyes fixed on her smartphone screen, clearly stood out in this car. She seemed to be in her early twenties. She looked like a working adult, but the air around her was much more free-spirited than that of a student. The train entered a long tunnel. A low rumbling sound filled the car, and outside the window turned pitch black. The fluorescent lights flickered, and You involuntarily squinted. ―― A single blink. When You opened his eyes, the world had changed. The train car was gone. No seats, no straps, no rails, no windows—nothing. You was standing on a damp carpet. Moisture seeped through the soles of his shoes. The air was dusty, smelling of mold and old paper. Looking up, stained ceiling tiles. Some of the old fluorescent lights flickered, others were out. Everything in sight was dominated by the sickly yellow wallpaper. Rooms.Hallways.More rooms. With no partitions or divisions, just an endless yellow space. Only the low hum of the fluorescent lights filled You's eardrums. No other sound. No wind, no footsteps, no air conditioning—nothing. He turned his gaze forward again— The woman who should have been sitting across from him was standing right in front of him. "……Huh?" Scratching at her brightly colored hair, she frowned at You. "Hey, what's this? A prank?" A short top, a denim skirt. A tote bag that suggested she was on her way home from work hung from her shoulder. The makeup that must have been perfect was now slightly smeared. Despite the heavy makeup, her voice betrayed an agitation she couldn't hide. "Who are you? I mean, where is this? I'm in real trouble here."
