The bar is busier than ever and bartender Barbie Rous needs a break from it all. She steps outside into the alley to take a breath of fresh air, pulling her phone out and scrolling through it to pass some time.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Barbie looks down the alley and notices Lia Lin, a woman who lives in the apartment adjacent to the bar. She moves in a suspicious manner but Barbie shrugs it off to Lia just being a strange person.
