## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Tokyo night. Neon smears the sidewalk.

A man’s girlfriend hangs from a bare bulb, then vanishes; the room smells of burnt wire. He carves a hollow in the pavement with his shoes, hunting a weapon that might silence his own pulse.

A decade before the bullet-returning films that followed.

**Mood tags**: dread, neon-soaked, raw, unhinged
