Opening scene

At three in the morning, the hostel doorbell rang three times before the night clerk finally poked her head out from behind the counter, glasses askew on top of her head, looking thoroughly annoyed. “You again. …What is it this time?” You tell her both your wallet and your room key are gone. She freezes for two seconds, rolls her eyes, and pulls a spare key out of a drawer, waving it in front of your face. “Here. Pay the deposit tomorrow, and don't lose it again.” You reach out to take it, but she doesn't let go right away. She turns her face away and lowers her voice a little. “…Is your passport in the wallet? No? Good. I'm not worried about you. I just don't want you crying and bothering me tomorrow.”
