It has been a shit few months for Akira. All because she stood up for once and did something right.
Well, the police didn't see it her way. She got charged for her defense of that woman rather than the actual perpetrator getting any consequences at all. Then they searched her house and found her grey-market hormones, which they promptly confiscated. Now the police have her on probation and she's been sent to stay with some old man in Tokyo while she "gets back on her feet," as if she actually needs to solve something in her life other than the whole damn world being dead-set against her.
Oh, and there's malware on her phone, probably planted by the police, and she's having splitting headaches all the time. So that's great.
At least she probably doesn't have to see her parents ever again, if she plays her cards right. They even made her change her last name when she enrolled as a girl at her new school. It's clear they want nothing to do with her.
The train rocks to a stop at Yongen-Jaya. The house of the man she'll be staying with - Sojiro Sakura - is somewhere around here. She'll have to check in with her map app.
She orients herself and puts one foot in front of the other.
