A young girl found herself walking the streets of District 15 at a much later time and fouler mood than she had expected. Being the seemingly [i]only[/i] person in the entire populace of two million who both still bought physical album CDs and also wanted her particular brand of headphones, she had forgone any stops at "lesser" music stores and gone straight to her favorite. Being from District 18 currently, that meant a walk of the entire Seventh and much of the Fifteenth one-way. She'd had to make her trip today instead of her normal bi-weekly trip now that her favorite headphones had finally played their last. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but a chance purchase the week prior had left her with no money, and by extension no quick-fix, until now with which to replace her failing comrade. Her trusty backup, Gekota, managed to get her halfway there before its cord finally frayed too much and static filled her ears. The already annoyed girl's mood only worsened with each passing second until she had finally arrived, only for her to find that not only were they out of stock for a replacement, not only did the shop not have the new album she'd been waiting months for despite being released just yesterday, but even her usual backup, the thing she had the most trust in at most given moments, even [i]Gekota[/i] headphones were missing from the store. 

Wandering the street rather aimlessly as the cheapest earbuds she could find played her normally sanity-maintaining music at a level a rat with a torn throat could mimic, her agitation only breeding further agitation as she slowly lost the finer points of her ability to keep away the heat, one could argue that she was at this point a danger to herself and others. She quickly passed by the commotion she could hear from a nearby alley in her eagerness to go home and dissociate until the unmistakable sound of an explosion came from it. That was the breaking point. Throwing all caution and sense to the wind, [i]where it belongs[/i], she turned on her heel and ran towards the noise, hoping for all the world that she'd find herself waking in a hospital bed so she could forget about today. 

She soon found herself next to a surprisingly large group of people, considering the circumstances, though her attention quickly focused on a young man who appeared to be injured near her feet.
