S1E1 · Emmy and Lynn / Youni and Ko

"Emmy and Lynn" have recently made a promise to one another. They hurry home to tell Emmy's parents, but nobody is home. The two of them have sex, following the precautions outlined in a sex ed video they once watched. The experience reaffirms their love for, and compatibility with, one another. The two of them decide to get their license and have children. "Youni and Ko" live a meagre existence in the underbelly of society. They scavenge a water conduit and happen upon a ring that has fallen from high society above. They research the ring's origin. The ring itself is worthless. However, the ring does contain information, and Ko finds a way to use this to get money. He suggests that the two of them use it to leave the slums behind them and ascend to the upper stratum. And Ko leaves to get the money. Youni leaves to meet Ko but is surrounded by a group of augmented men. Youni thought the days of selling her body to get by in this twisted, cruel, and unforgiving world were behind her.
