Tetsugoro Kusabi drives along a long stretch of road in Area E3 by a river. He complains about the music on the radio, but expresses confusion at how long the road is, apparently having thought it to be shorter. As he continues to drive, he suddenly gets a bad feeling, before seeing somebody standing in front of him on the road. He slams on the brakes to see who it is, and sees [[Ryo Kazan|a young man]] standing right in the middle of the road carrying [[Kyoko Kazan|a severed head]].

As Tetsu squints to make out the details of what he's holding, he notices the man, Ryo, pull out a gun and point it at him. Tetsu just barely dodges his head to the side in time to miss the bullet when Ryo pulls the trigger. Ryo disappears, but Tetsu decides to track him down. He turns on the police radio and calls back to the [[24 Precinct]]. [[Chizuru Hachisuka]] picks up. Tetsu asks if [[Sumio Kodai]] is present, but Chizuru informs him that Sumio already left. Tetsu relays the situation and tells Chizuru to call in the closest units available. She manages to contact [[Republic]], a special forces team led by a man Tetsu knows, [[Daigo Natsume]].
