A girl in a navy blue sailor uniform with a green scarf and white high socks sits slumped in a chair, her vacant eyes fixed on a spot on the desk. Caught red-handed shoplifting, she is being scolded by a man presumed to be a store employee. He lectures her about theft—how shoplifting is a criminal offense punishable by up to ten years in prison, and how she'll face a permanent criminal record. The girl begins to grasp the severity of her crime, overwhelmed by fear and confusion. Terrified at the thought of her parents being contacted, expulsion from school, and being reported to the police, she pleads desperately for him to keep it a secret, promising to do anything. Begging for forgiveness, she offers her body as payment.
