– "Poison Streets"
---
Panel 1
Scene: Afternoon in the living room. Joile sits on the couch, flipping through a thick folder labeled "Drug Case." He looks frustrated.
Joile (muttering):
Ugh… how the hell am I supposed to catch these guys with nothing to go on?
---
Panel 2
Scene: Rena walks in, holding two coffee mugs. She hands one to Joile and sits beside him.
SFX: CLINK
Rena (soft smile):
Here, have some coffee. You look like your brain's doing somersaults.
---
Panel 3
Scene: Joile rubs his forehead and takes the mug.
Joile:
Thanks, babe. My senior just handed me a new case—gotta bust some drug dealers.
But this file? Dry as a desert. No leads. No evidence. Zilch.

Panel 4
Scene: Rena sips her coffee, pretending to be casual but clearly curious.
Rena:
Oof. Sounds like a tough nut to crack. But you're smart—you'll get 'em.
---
Panel 5
Scene: Joile sighs deeply, flipping a page in the folder.
Joile:
They're real slick. Moving drugs under the radar.
Worse part? This stuff works like poison. One hit, and people get hooked fast.
---
Panel 6
Scene: Close-up of Joile, serious expression.
Joile:
Users go totally outta their minds—assaults, murder, you name it.
Half the time, they don't even remember doing it.
---
Panel 7
Scene: Rena looks genuinely disturbed.
Rena:
That's... terrifying. Please be careful, okay?
You need rest too, not just caffeine and case files.
---
Panel 8
Scene: Joile nods, placing the folder on the table.
Joile:
Yeah, yeah… I'll try to get some shuteye. Thanks, love.
