Kira opens her ramen stand for the night in Neo-Shinjuku's lower grid. Her regulars gather — and a weary corporate drone stumbles in, tasting something that changes everything.

Kira's broth becomes legendary overnight. The Syndicate sends a fixer named Lace to acquire the recipe — by any means necessary.

Lace returns with Syndicate enforcers. Kira's secret is exposed — and she must use her illegal neural chip as a weapon to protect everything she's built.

The Syndicate is defeated. Friends rebuild the stand. Kira flips the neon sign open again — and the whole lower grid shows up for a bowl.
