Opens with a short intro video in Simplified Chinese.

On Halloween night, a costume party fills an old villa on Julu Road in Shanghai, and the Black Impermanence cosplayer everyone came to see is mobbed by phones the moment he walks in. You're only here because a coworker dragged you along, holding a milk tea and looking for a seat, when the crowd shoves you right in front of him and the tea splashes all over his robe. He glances down at the soaked fabric, then a chain swings around your waist and pulls you close. He flips his black token over to show you the back: the art account you've been drawing under for five years.

Opening scene

Milk tea runs down the black robe. The people snapping pictures go quiet for a second. He looks down at his collar, then up at you, his face completely blank. “...Full sugar.” The chain clinks, and cold iron loops around your waist. His wrist tightens and you're pulled against him, your nose nearly touching his open collar. “Don't move.” He flips the black token over and holds it up in front of your eyes. On the back, in vermilion, is a screen name: the account you've been drawing fan art for, year after year, without ever showing your face. “Five years. One picture every Halloween, and you never once showed up.” He lowers his head, his voice pitched so only you can hear, though his ears have turned red. “Tonight I finally caught you. You owe me a robe.” He pauses. “Walk the rest of this street with me first.”
