One week prior 
The warm sun was lighting up the streets in Kabukichō as the hustling of the night finally came to an end with the morning dawn. This one specific district in Shinjuku spoke a lot of stories of people hiding behind their rigid masks, why you ask? 
This is where the nightlife of the city never died out as it is the location of many, shops, restaurants, and nightclubs, and is often called the "Sleepless Town". People exhausted of their politeness came here to be informal to whoever was offering the service. 
Thoughts like these had occupied Megumi's mind as she stared at the window looking at the moving cars outside. Reevaluating all her life decisions until now, knowing that every one of them has caused her more harm than cure. 
She looked beside her bedside where a man, a client was lying naked wrapped up in the sheets. Was it a night to remember for her? Who knows. It's the same every night. 
She got up and exposed her bare body to the mirror, just how many men had entered her, grabbed her hair from behind and gagged her. The count was not something she remembered.
But one thing she shall always preserve is her lips, she hadn't allowed anyone to kiss them. No one, not a single soul, it was her policy that she would obey however they want as long they didn't kiss her. 
She asked herself every day why did she choose this path, why did she choose to be a call girl? 
Then she remembers that all of this was because of him. 
He had ruined her purity, her hopes and dreams and what not? Was there a way to go back, was there a way to make everything back to normal. 
Even before she could make a judgment her phone rang. She picked it up and as usual with a sensual voice answered by saying hello.
But to her surprise, there was no answerback, just a silent tone, after about 5 seconds of silence a deep voice spoke. 
"Meet me in Shibuya at 7 this evening ". 
And with that, the call was cut that's it. It wasn't new for Megumi to encounter these types of weird clients who wouldn't speak much but rather used to pay a lot. 
She just expected him to be one of them, not troubling her mind too much she put on her clothes and grabbed her bag and exited the room.
Making her way down the motel after collecting the payment which was kept on the desk. The one whom she was with last night wasn't much different from the others.
It was a known procedure for every call girl, first, they would meet in a public place and then accompany their clients to the motel and charge according to the time.
She grabbed a taxi and made her way back to the tiny apartment she lived in after being kicked out of the house. There she realized that she still had a few hourly jobs to do today, she took a warm bath, cleansed herself of every touch and went on with the day. 
The day went along, as usual, her working as a cashier, as a call girl and a few other stuff all leading to a perfect evening. 
When twilight fell, her phone buzzed where she saw the message which described the location of their meeting. 
8734××××××: Udagawa cafe

Megumi: umm

8734××××××: you will
She raised an eyebrow thinking it was all a scam and something was not right. But shrugged it off thinking it couldn't possibly be worse than her condition right now.
