Shinjuku. The lights. The sounds. All of them strangely muted in the flickering neon and shadow of the nightmarish underground mall in which you suddenly find yourself. You were shopping with some work acquaintances when you suddenly felt dizzy—you excused yourself and found a restroom. There was nausea. There may have been vomit. You’re not quite sure how long that lasted. You feel… somewhat better now. The mall does not. If there were screams, you missed them. There was no gunfire—you’re pretty sure you wouldn’t have missed that, even half dead. If your friends made it through this mess, they’re not here. Actually… nobody is. No bodies. No sounds except the poppy Muzak bleating from the remains of a busted speaker. Then again, this is Tokyo, not New York. Now you look down the main concourse, half-veiled in shrouds of inky darkness. Dark blotches smear both walls, and several shop windows smashed violently enough to leave shards of glass sparkling across the tile floors. That’s when she emerges. She does have guns, twin machine pistols, and she’s scowling hard enough to make Clint Eastwood think twice about his luck. She’s beautiful, in a schoolgirl-next-door sort of way, but she’s sad. So sad. She’s about twenty feet away when she notices you at the mouth of the hallway to the bathrooms.
