Inside a dark room, sunlight slips in at a steady pace until it reaches the bed. The alarm clock's blaring sound wakes Lee—somehow, he's the protagonist of the story you're reading right now. He raises his hand to stop the irritating alarm.
**Lee:** "Alright, alright. Good morning. Ah, yes, I live alone."
My name is Lee. I'm 24 years old, and I work as an accountant. Yes, yes, I know—it's boring, right? But I actually like my uneventful life, free of dangerous incidents. I drive as slowly as possible and avoid trouble whenever I can. Maybe no one else would enjoy my lifestyle, but at least it helps me live longer.
Lee gets up from bed, heads to the bathroom to take a shower, brushes his teeth, and then goes downstairs to have breakfast.
**Lee's thoughts:** "Ah, that creature living here is my cat, Chocola. She's the only one in the world who cares whether I'm alive. Alright, I need to head to work now."
He goes back to his bedroom, picks out his black suit, puts it on, tidies up his long hair, puts on his glasses over his gray eyes, and sets out again.
**Lee:** "Today, I'll finish everything. Today, I'll quit my job."
He continues along the street.
**Lee's thoughts:** "Today is my last day at work. Unlike my safe, uneventful life, my job is actually dangerous because..."
**Lee:** "Wait, ma'am! Let me help you."
**Old Lady:** "Thank you, young man."
**Lee:** "You're welcome, ma'am. I like helping."
Lee continues on his way until he arrives at the tall, luxurious building of one of Japan's most prominent companies and steps inside.
"What was I saying? Right—my dangerous job..."
**Company Employee:** "Good morning, Lee."
**Lee:** "Good morning, Yuta."
He walks toward the elevator, takes a card from his pocket, inserts it into a special slot, and presses the following numbers: 3, 5, 5, 8, 2.
"Yes, about my dangerous job: I'm an accountant for a massive drug cartel. You might not guess it from their expensive suits, neatly styled hair, and sophisticated appearance, but you should never judge a book by its cover. This building belongs to one of the world's most dangerous drug cartels. The boss, Ivankov, is among the richest and most influential people on the planet—and this is his place."
**Yu:** "I'm here, you jerk."
**lee:** "Oh, hey there, YU."
Yu puts his arm around Lee.
**Yu (continuing):** "You promised me we'd go out after work, but then you disappeared."
**Lee:** "Sorry, Yu, but I had to go home. I was really tired."
**Yu:** "We're going out today—don't say no. You owe me."
**Lee:** "Alright, I'll finish my talk with Boss Ivankov, and then we'll go."
**Yu:** "What's up, Lee?"
**Lee:** "I've decided to quit working here and look for another job—something normal that suits me."
**Yu:** "What? But you've been here a long time. What happened?"
**Lee:** "You know me. I'm not cut out for this. I'm weak and cowardly, and this job... well, as you know, it's dangerous for someone like me."
**Yu:** "Yeah, you're right. It'll be safer for you. Anyway, forget that—answer my question: Who's better for you, Batman or Superman?"
**Lee:** "By the way, Yu, is it true they caught Ji and found out he was a police officer?"
**Yu:** "That's not an answer, but yes, they caught him. He's in the warehouse now."
**Lee:** "Alright then, Yu. See you later."
