Act 0: The Family Business


It's quarter to 5 am, and a blue blur zooms down the mountain with breathtaking speed, gradually increasing its velocity.

The young driver, in his early 20s, is focused behind the wheel, dressed in a plain white shirt, and blue jeans, and sporting a pair of sleek New Balance shoes. If you were a ghost observing him, his intense energy would give you pause, making you question your presence.

Seated in the passenger seat is a man in his mid-40s, wearing a yellow polo shirt and gray jeans. Surprisingly, a lit cigarette dangles from his mouth.

The seasoned man had decided to witness firsthand how much his son had improved in the family business.

The blue blur approaches a hairpin curve, maintaining its extraordinary velocity. With precision, it veers onto the left lane, then swiftly executes a right turn. Braking abruptly, it smoothly transitions into a left turn, skillfully maneuvering through the curve.

As the tires grip the road, the old man can't help but mutter under his breath, "Showoff."
