Sofia, licking her candy wrapper, saw this unfamiliar Eastern man and immediately stood up from beside the doorway.
He looked unlike anyone this city had ever seen; Sofia remembered this man, who had arrived not long ago. His arrival caused quite a stir, and Oskar and his crew had once confronted him, only to be effortlessly kicked away by him.

Oskar bore a grudge against him; Sofia was frightened seeing him, and upon spotting him, she instantly got up from beside the doorway and ran into the house.
Screams and cries of women echoed from inside the house, while several men stood at the door, joking, "Oskar, don't tell me you can't even handle a woman now! You're so pathetic, might as well let me have a go first."
"Shut your mouth!"
Oskar wiped the blood from his forehead, his face contorted.
