Intro -
Rin and Len Kagemine rushed down the streets of Tokyo with empty stomachs and heavy hearts. They weaved through crowds and dodged traffic, in an attempt to get where they were going, wherever that might have been. "How much longer Len? I'm Starving!" "A little longer, just keep going." The Kagemine twins had already walked 3 miles to their apartment, only to find themselves out the door the next moment. "Where could they have gone?" Len asked himself. Their parents had abandoned them, left them to die. But they knew that they had to keep going. If they were lucky, someone would find them and take them in. If they were lucky, they would have food on their plates and a bed to sleep in. If they were lucky, they would be saved from the black pit of despair they were trapped in. Electronic billboard blared high above them, the night sky shining brightly in the backround. The twins would have been amazed at the astounding beauty of it all any other night, but for now, they kept running. Suddenly, the crowd in front of them parted as police cars slowed to a halt in front of them. "What could be happening?" Rin asked herself. Armed policemen hopped out of the car, examining the landscape. A man, also armed came from a nearby store with a sack slumped over his shoulder. A robbery. Rin and Len had seen them on the news, but never feared them. The crowd went into a frenzy. People ran in all directions, trying in vain to escape. Len took Rin's hand and sprinted away, pushing people out of their way. More police cars appeared, and more people appeared, trying to find what all the commotion was about. A confused biker smashed into the twins, knocking them to the ground. Len tumbled backwards, bashing into someones legs, and eventually found the strength to stand up. He checked himself for wounds, and only had a couple scrapes and cuts. He thought, "I wonder if Rin's okay..." Rin. Amidst the confusion, Len had been separated from his twin sister. Rin was gone, lost in a sea of faces.
