A man urgently asks a woman repeatedly if she thinks he looks pretty while demanding directions to Grimwood. The woman is confused but confirms his appearance. Suddenly, a C-class anomaly called the Slit-Mouthed Woman appears and panics. The man gains Brutal Points from this encounter and pressures her for Grimwood's location. Terrified, she admits she knows the way but warns it’s far across the city. Without waiting, the man commands her to board a bus immediately, pushing the situation toward an urgent and uncertain journey to Grimwood.
