>Let's listen in on that report.

>You listen in to the news report.
>"We are currently reporting live from the Night Sparrow Yakisoba Joint, where an attempted robbery by members of the Yorigami Sukeban had took place the previous night. According to witness testimony, five  Sukeban simply showed up all of a sudden last night, demanding the restaurant's staff members to, quote, 'pay the protection tax', unquote. However, the witnesses also said that the Sukeban were downed when they got into a brawl with a woman with long dark-blue hair, who left the restaurant very quickly after paying for her own meal. We are still being updated as we speak, so stay tuned for more on the incident. This is Kakashi News Network, and we'll be right back."

>"Oh right..." Nitori said, taking note of her own blue hair.
>Then comes the knockings on the front door.
>"Oh, again?!"

>"It's not the journalists!" Nitori tells you. Frantically. "It's the Suke-"
>That's when a section of the door suddenly broke into splinters, and out poked what appeared to be a sledgehammer.

//Things get hardcore really quickly in this CYOA, eh?

>That depends on the kind of person holding the sledgehammer at the time.
>As you get up to go inspect the front door, you see the sledgehammer being pulled out from the hole it made on the door. Whoever's holding the sledgehammer then brings it down on a different part of the door, barely missing Nitori's head this time.
>The door's not going to hold for very long. You need to make your next move quick...

>Nitori quickly moves awayfrom the door and hides behind the sofa.
>When the sledgehammer smashed through the door a third time, you grabbed the hammer head before it can be pulled out, and try to yank it toward you.
>You suceed...in pulling the hammer head right off of the handle. The sledgehammer handle is then pulled out without the hammerhead, and you hear the holder groaning as she notices the missing hammer head.
>"Hmph! So that bitch's trying to be a hero!" You hear another voice saying from beyond the door. "Alright, girls! Pump her full of lead!"

>Well, the groan and the hammy speech that follows belonged to two different voices, so you can tell that there are at least two people outside.
>You then hear what are unmistakably the sound of guns being cocked...

//you do know that fire escapes in apartment buildings tend to be outside the rooms people live in, right?

>"How? Those Sukeban are right between us and the fire escape!" Nitori tells you.
