Early warnings

Elias and Yui pushed through the thick crowd, maneuvering past groups of tourists and resort staff, the constant motion of people moving in every direction making the task of following their target more difficult. The scent of grilled food and ocean air mixed in the dense atmosphere, but neither of them had time to take it in. Their focus remained locked on the man in the white coat.

Yui cut through the crowd faster, slipping between gaps while Elias struggled slightly, his broader movements hindered by the sheer number of bodies moving around him. By the time Elias reached the side door of the hotel, Yui had already disappeared inside. The door swung shut just as Elias reached it, forcing him to push it open again and step inside.
