The scene fades out and we find ourselves in Hiro’s bedroom. The place looks kinda dinghy, with light filtering through the blinds. You get the impression this place smells like BO, stale cigarettes and probably green tea, given this is Japan. The bed is unmade, but this is just as well, because there a dart board hanging above it, and leaving it unmade probably helps prevent stabbing yourself with lost darts.
We see the back of Hiro, still wearing his cool guy red leather jacket. Perhaps he sleeps in it.
A helpful stats window reveals some information about our hero.
He’s 18 years old, and has no street racing rank.
Today is April the 1st, and he has 3,000 yen to his name.
We’ve got several options on the menu here, which Google Translate seems to have different words for every time I run it.

Grass Lace

This is where this game starts to get interesting. I’d expect a game like this to have parts shops and car sales, but reading magazines and getting part time jobs? What the hell is grass lace?
