Flor Fria, Macau

March 16, 2049

The wait was mind-numbing, almost intolerable. Noshimi looked over at the large clock on the wall at the entrance to the central station on Flor Fria. It was early morning. She took a couple of deep breaths to clear the mind. It was pleasantly warm in the air and she heard birds twitter and tried to relax but failed.

She crossed the street towards the entrance and her irritation grew. She had enough problems. She did not have time for this. The last few days had been harder than usual for her; the panic attack the day before had emptied her on energy and she was still shaky. She suspected it was something in the water. Would they add poison to the water to get to her?

She jolted when something honked next to her. She looked startled to her side and saw how an angry taxi driver leaned out the side window and raise his fist towards her. She showed him his finger and grimaced. Idiot.

She hurried on towards the entrance and she tensed as she approached, there were people everywhere and she hated people. She hated people so much that if only she approached someone, she experienced physical discomfort. But she had to. Her brother had contacted her a little more than a week ago and asked for help. At first, she had refused. She and her brother had never been particularly close. She was two years younger than him but had never emerged from the community of some siblings.

Family life when she had been young had been strained, living with her family had been strenuous when their dad was a violent alcoholic and their mother had been a submissive woman who did not dare to protect her children against their father's violent outbursts. But even though their parents had been as they were, it had not brought up a special community between the siblings. Noshimi had on several occasions seen how her brother had stood by the bedroom door without saying anything when her father had beaten her.

For that, she had slowly begun to despise her brother who was as weak as their mother. But still, he had contacted her now. They had not spoken to each other for several years. She had no idea what he was doing now for the time. For what seemed about a lifetime since she had heard that he studied medicine but what happened to her she did not know. And it was natural, she had enough of her own problems. Her enemies were everywhere. She knew she was probably supervised at all times of the day and that you could not be too careful. Even on Flor Fria, or perhaps especially on Flor Fria, which had experienced such a turbulent time as in recent months.

She came up to a guard standing next to a scanner. Noshimi pulled the bracelet through the scanner and the guard nodded for her to continue. She exhaled. The confusion after the panic attack still lingered and she was grateful that her enemies did not seem to know exactly where she was.
