She just wanted to get some long-overdue shopping done, but just as she's passing by that corner restaurant Russia Sushi, she's nearly killed by a vending machine crashing onto the sidewalk inches from her feet. Mai screams and backtracks several steps before tripping over her feet, dropping her groceries in the process.

Mai feels her eyes widen in shock, looking back and forth between him and the scrap metal. Had he thrown that? Some canned coffee falls free of the machine and rolls toward her, but she ignores it.
