#225,859 — A severely mutilated, naked body, sliced in half at the waist, with a grotesque grimace carved into her face, is found not far from Hollywood. The woman loses the earrings, and spends the next ten years of her life paying back the earrings she bought to replace the lost ones, without her girlfriend ever finding out about the loss. She tries to escape destiny but her demons are always by her side. She finds nobody at the deserted station hall to inquire about the missing train. She decides to leave the station and establish herself somehow in that city.
