## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You pilot Bean Bandit’s Roadbuster through neon-lit backstreets chasing a payday. A job to deliver Chelsea looks clean until Semmerling’s bullet whizzes past your rearview. Hasegawa stages every curve like a comic chase scene, yet the city feels eerily still by the end.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, playful, unhinged
