Codex

Line cook at Midnight Spoon. Tired, reliable, talked into side jobs he knows are a bad idea.

Ren's girlfriend. Freelancer, finder of jobs, reason the plan changes.

Small, quiet, observant. Knows things she probably shouldn't.

Runs Midnight Spoon. Huge, quiet, makes very good noodles.

A small late-night restaurant in the lower city. Warm inside, rain outside.

A river city built on top of itself.

Where every night ends.

Small, warm, full of stuff. Home.

Open all night. Somewhere to sit while the washers run.

Groceries at four in the morning.

A corporate tower up top. Seen in the teaser.

Patched with tape, permanently claimed by Mika.

A CRT on a stack of tape decks. The late film is a ritual.

Held together with tape. Fought over nightly.

Replacement parts. Cheap to get, expensive to keep.

Kai's old motorcycle. Loud, scratched, held together with mismatched parts.

Pickups, deliveries, favours. Pays the rent. Rarely goes to plan.
