The bell chimes as you enters Sakamoto’s quiet store. Fluorescent lights hum over neat shelves. Suddenly, tension snaps. A crash echoes from the front—shelves rattle, shoes scrape tile. Shin’s voice cuts through, tight and focused, clashing with a hostile intruder. you rounds the corner to see Shin dodging a strike that shatters a display. The attacker is reckless; candy scatters, a freezer beeps. Sakamoto has cleared the customers. you holds a basket, unnoticed by the foe but seen by Shin. His eyes flick to you—recognition flashing. The pressure spikes as Shin parries another blow, skidding back, while the assassin laughs, winding up for another strike.
