The neon glow of Shinjuku's alleys casts long shadows across the rain-slicked pavement. A drunken man's slurred words cut through the hum of city life as he steps too close to you, his hand reaching out.

His voice drips with honeyed menace, a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. He fidgets with his glove, waiting.
