W1dow: Sixteen

The year is 2044.

The world is in a frenzy of rapidly evolving technology.
Dominated by consumerism and bureaucracy, it does not resemble its former self.

The glow of neon lights completely replaced sunlight.
Heavy air hangs over the heads of the citizens, reminding them of the consequences of their actions over the years.
There is no salvation for our planet, but it could always be worse, right?

Of course it could.

Your name's Makoto, a young girl who just turned 19.
You lived in the eastern part of the New Tripod for almost two years, before your apartment was taken from you -
all because of the bankruptcy of the canning factory in which you worked. You couldn't afford the rent and the bills.

You tried to reach a settlement with the bailiff - unfortunately, to no avail.
His piercing gray eyes show no pity, as security throws you outside.

You land on the streets of a dangerous neighborhood.
It's raining.
