In the dimly lit room, david lying in the worn out couch, the glowing lights from the BD/Mewtwo? device illuminating his face.

[Screaming Sound]

Ahhhhhhh!! Ah! Ah!. {David scream, panting and moaning?}

{Ripperdoc Call to David - So, what do you think? Still warm, that. Couple hours old. Lifted from the edgerunner who scrolled it. Straight off the street.}

{David Call to Ripperdoc - Doc, hey, you gotta tell me who keeps feeding you these nuggets!, David excitedly said while grinning from the experience earlier,}

{Ripperdoc to David - Kurosaki. Who else? Ain't no other editor who churns out BDs that sweet and preem. Won't pull nothin' like that off the shelf, neither, Ripperdoc chuckled darkly}

{David to Ripperdoc - No shit! Brain's still buzzing. Gonna be sick, while

Groaning and Panting}

{Ripperdoc to David - Slow, deep breaths, choom. Just left the head of a skezzed-out chrome junkie. Cyberpsychosis ain't no joke. Anyway, either hurt or don't, got more chips for you to slot}

{David to Ripperdoc - Really? What?, David asked}

{Ripperdoc to David - Something special~}

The scene shifts to David apartment. He sitting before the laundry machine, staring blanky as he watch his clothes tumble inside. Suddenly, the machine beeps and halts.

Automated Voice: Cycle suspended due to insufficient funds.

Geez, not again, {David Sighs}

Frustrated, he sighs and glances around the cluttered room. His gaze falls upon his mother, Gloria, asleep on the couch, her face etched with exhaustion. He approaches her gently.

Gloria suddenly wake up

Gasp! Oh, Morning Miho, {gloria sigh and smile tiredly at her son while hugging her jacket tightly}

If you keeps sleeping on the couch, you gonna get arthritis, {david reprimand his mom softly}

I know. Just dead after my night shift, is all, { Gloria tired said to her son}

You and the washing machine both. Forget to re-up it. {David remind her mom}

Yeah. I'll take care of it later, 'kay? Oh, money, right. You mentioned a reef update for class. That happen yet? When did you say you need it? {Gloria asked her son worriedly}

No, no. It's fine. Got Doc to handle it. {David}

What do you mean 'handle it'? {Gloria}

I'm good. All set {David}

Don't go cutting corners, D. Already cashed my paycheck. You'll get it updated right. Hear me? {Gloria said firmly to her son}

Mom, seriously! Just feed the washer, alright? {David}

I forgot this time. I told you. Promise me you'll buy the update {Gloria remind her son again}

Okay. Okay. Okay {David}

And you're really going to school dressed like that? {Gloria said while looking at her son up and down}

Uniform's soaked {David}

Sigh Right mhh? {Gloria cover her face tiredly and she notice a floating screen}

{Reporter - A military-grade implant was found Missing from the body of LT. Col. James Norris, shot dead be Maxtac..}

Mom, you're on TV! Nova! {David excitedly said while pointing in the floating screen}

Not Nova, David. A bloodbath, {Gloria sigh tiredly}

She turns off the TV, her expression troubled

Go on. Off to school, Bye. Love you, Miho, {Gloria}

As he exits, Gloria made a call to someone, while looking inside of her Jacket.

Maine? Its Gloria {Gloria}

As david aying in the academy chair? While ignoring the harsh words of tanaka, he installed the pirated software from the ripperdoc.

This better work.. {David muttered}

However, moments later, the terminal emitted a series of warning beeps.

Terminal: "Error: System corruption detected."

Shit!.. {david frustrated}

Scene Change

Principal's office,

where Gloria and David sit across from the stern-faced principal

Mrs. Martinez, your son's actions have caused significant disruptions to our network. This behavior is unacceptable.. {Principal}

I... I'm truly sorry. It won't happen again. I'll make sure of it. {Gloria apologize while bowing her head}

Later, in their car, Gloria grips the steering wheel tightly, tears streaming down her face

You are breaking my heart miho. My Sweet baby boy. So smart. So talented... {Gloria sobbed}

You're everything to me, i want to give you a Fighting chance in this, and a good education, it's why i put in all those hours, that why i'm never home, { Gloria said those words while her tears is streams down}

I'm sorry mom... I shouldn't have brought it up, Don't cry. Mom, { David can only face front and said sorry to her clearly regretting his actuons now}

Suddenly, the roar of engines surrounded them left and right. A high-speed chase on the highway. In the right of the dou vehicle, david saw the corner of his eyes one of the animal gang pulled a LMG size gun and fired (i Dunno the name of the gun)

Mom, look out! {David}

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One of the animal gang's thug pulled a

rocket launcher, aiming to their target in front of them.

The rocket was fired, hitting the target vehicle, which careened and crashed directly in front of them.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!! { Gloria Screaming}

Watch out!!! {David Screaming}

The explosion engulfed their car.

[Static buzzing]

David's vision blurred as he regained consciousness, the acrid smell of smoke filling his lungs.

Pov David

Where... Where am I? Mom?!

He struggling against the seatbelt, eyes darting to his mother lying motionless a few meters away.

Mom!

Mom!

Wake up!

Goddamnit!

Flames crackled around them

The distinct hum of an approaching Trauma Team AV grew louder

Is that... Trauma Team? Oh, thank Christ

[Scanning Sound]

He's not a client {one of the trauma team}

Neither is she {another trauma theme members said who scanned gloria}

Wait! Wait! Fückers!

His vision dimmed, consciousness slipping away

Mom... Mom... Mo

Before darkness took over, he heard someone.

kid. Lucky for you, I was nearby {unknown man}

With that, David succumbed to unconsciousness, the world fading around him.

Enjoy and byee.
