.As she slurped her noodles in the dimly lit alleyway, the cyberpunk girl couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Suddenly, someone emerged from the shadows and cornered her. Before she could react, they grabbed her backpack and snatched her cybernetic arm, leaving her helpless and in pain. As she lay there, stunned, she realized that she had been set up and robbed.
