The man turned to her, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "I've been expecting you," he said, taking a drag on his cigarette.

The message had read: "Meet me at the old warehouse on 5th and Main at midnight. Come alone." Yuria had arrived at the warehouse, her heart racing with anticipation. That's when she met him - a mysterious figure who claimed to have seen Akira on the night she disappeared. He had given Yuria a single clue: a tattoo on his wrist, bearing the symbol of a snake eating its own tail. The man turned to her, a hint of a smile playing on his lips
Since then, Yuria had been searching for the man with the tattoo. She had scoured the city, talking to informants, and scouring databases, but every lead seemed to end in a dead-end. Until now. "I was there that night," he said
As she turned a corner, Yuria spotted him - the man with the tattoo. He was standing outside a seedy bar, smoking a cigarette. Her eyes locked onto his, and she felt a surge of adrenaline. This was it. This was the break she had been waiting for.
As she navigated through the throngs of people, Yuria's thoughts drifted back to the events that had led her to this moment. It had started with a cryptic message from an anonymous source, claiming to have information about her sister's disappearance. Yuria's sister, Akira, had vanished three years ago, leaving behind only a trail of unanswered questions. The police had given up on the case, but Yuria had never let go.
