"We're going to be late, thanks to you." giving Samatoki a tired sigh, Jyuto continues to keep his eyes on the dark road before him while talking. "Then just turn on the siren. That's what it's for, isn't it?" leaning out of the car's window, Samatoki fails to hear the police offer's annoyed lecturing, tuning him out as he watches the scenery fly past the two of them in the car. Nights like these were his favourites. The stars twinkling in the sky above him and the peaceful moon shining on the water below made it almost impossible to imagine Yokohama being as busy as it truly was.

The two of them are on their way to meet the third member of the group representing Yokohama, Jyuto being kind enough to offer Samatoki a ride, only to regret it as the yakuza's job that day had taken a little longer than expected. "Boss' order." was the only explanation Samatoki had given, making Jyuto sigh in protest before realizing he would rather end up late than explain to Rio why their leader failed to meet up.

"At least tell me you ate something before leaving." Jyuto shudders as he recalls the ex-navy officer's... exotic, to say the least, food. "Aw shit..." Samatoki flinches as he realizes he has barely eaten anything the entire day, seeing as he was too preoccupied with his boss' orders. "...Seriously?" after sighing for the potentially forty-fifth time that night, Jyuto reaches into one of the car's compartments, pulling out a somewhat mushed yakisoba bun before aggressively throwing it at Samatoki's lap.

Muttering out a half-hearted "thanks", Samatoki continues to stare at the silent surroundings while slowly munching on the bun. He was completely and utterly exhausted, barely even managing to get the bun into his mouth as he got distracted by the water flowing beneath the bridge they were approaching. The bridge was for the most part empty; there were only a couple of cars on the road and the occasional group of drunk people aimlessly wandering along the railing.

For some reason, Samatoki found himself drawn to the railing, following it as the car made its way over the bridge. Knowing his eyes were faster than Jyuto's stupid car, he starts looking up ahead, eyes still on the railing and with a satisfied grin knowing Jyuto is now technically following his line of sight. However, his grin suddenly falters as he notices a figure dangerously dangling with their legs over the railing. Knowing it's at least thirty meters down to the water, Samatoki can't help but feel nervousness bubble up inside him.

However, what pushes him over the edge is the small group of drunks quickly approaching the unaware figure, laughing while pointing and motioning for one of them to go shove them of the railing. "Pull over." Samatoki suddenly says. "Excuse me? We don't have ti-"

"Pull over!"

Leaping out of the car as Jyuto does what he says, Samatoki runs towards the scene happening in front of him. The yakisoba bun got lost somewhere along the lines as he forgets all about it, as well as his own fatigue. Close enough to see that the unsuspecting victim is a girl, Samatoki tries to shout a warning at the drunk group, only to feel both his voice and his stomach drop as he watches one of them forcefully shove her.

Not wasting another second, Samatoki pushes his way through the group as the cold air hitches in his throat. As he notices you struggling to keep your balance, he reaches out his hand as you fall. Without a second thought, he grabs onto your arm, holding on for dear life as he tries to find your face. "What the hell is going on?!" he hears Jyuto shout as he approaches him. "Can you do me a favour and handle those bastards over there?!" Samatoki says between clenched teeth, trying his best to pull you up even though the coldness is constantly biting at his fingers.

Feeling his grip slipping, Samatoki shuffles himself closer to the railing in hopes of seeing what kind of dumbass he's currently trying to save. Save..? Why was he currently saving someone..? Not only that, but why was he trying to save someone he didn't even know who was? As Samatoki's confused eyes suddenly met yours, he couldn't help but flinch at your expression.
