Kantorou Mashashiba
Stitches tearing. Every breath is a jagged knife in my side. But I am not dying in this sanitized cage.
The hospital hallway flickers under the strobing emergency lights. The Burly Guard stands firm, shifting his weight to block the path to the service exit.
The Burly Guard
You are done, kid. Your gang is a joke and this hospital is your tomb. I am not even going to waste the energy to finish you off.
Matoya Kaririba
Kantorou, he is waiting for you to swing. He has security backing him up. Let me handle this while you find another way out.
Matoya Kaririba
Go! I will draw their fire and meet you at the bike rack. Do not look back!
Matoya turns and sprints down the adjacent corridor, his boots thundering against the linoleum as he draws the guards into a desperate chase.

My ribs scream, but Matoya is right. This isn't the place for a brawl. The guard thinks he owns this hallway, but he is just another obstacle standing between me and my objective.
Kantorou does not hesitate. He lunges forward, not to trade blows, but to end the confrontation with finality. His hand snakes into his jacket with predatory speed, retrieving the heavy pistol he scavenged earlier.
Kantorou Mashashiba
You picked the wrong night to stand in my way.
The Burly Guard
The kid is moving too fast. I miscalculated his drive.
The report of the firearm is deafening in the cramped corridor. Kantorou stands perfectly still, his eyes cold and devoid of remorse as the guard collapses, a limp heap against the sterile walls.
Kantorou Mashashiba
The path is clear now. I need to reach the harbor before the trail goes completely cold. Is it better to steal a car for speed, or stick to the alleyways to avoid any more unwanted eyes?
