Background
On March 16th, 2071, Alexandra Robins dies.
She is a street level decker, and a wife by whatever bonds SINless tie themselves with, and a mother to Akiha Kurosawa, who holds her dearly as they cruise through Downtown streets, Dodge Scoot style. Akiha feels warmly that she is the only thing above the stars and the moon and the kami themselves. On their way back from a a planetarium, they are ambushed by Halloweeners, who draw a rope taut across the street to clothesline their Scoot. In the chaos, a half-dozen gangers stake claim to as many bodies as can be found before Knight Errant arrive, and drag them into the deep and hidden tunnels beneath Downtown. She becomes fodder for gore-soaked BTLs and simsense of the worst kind. She is burned alive, and with her dying thoughts, she wishes only she could see the rest of her sweet Akiha's life, her birthdays, her first dates, her graduations and wedding. She wishes bitterly she could have told her how much she wanted a daughter, and that she could protect that fragile girl from the nightmare her father would bring.
She wishes she could kiss her goodbye a final time.
In the moment, she can only scream.
