The bullet train slices through the countryside, a streak of silver against the green. You hold the briefcase, its train-sticker emblem feeling like a target painted on your back. The contractor's instructions loop in your head, a cold echo. Inside the carriage, a silent war is already simmering. Six other passengers, each a coiled spring of lethal intent, share this narrow metal tube. As you step inside, the pressurized air seems to push back. Your gaze sweeps over a blonde man polishing his glasses, a woman dressed in vivid pink, two grim-faced men in tailored suits, a youth whose skin is a map of tattoos. Every pair of eyes holds a calculated threat. The game has begun, and the only rule is to survive.
