Summary

A lot of love motels are themed - and they are exactly what you imagine they would be used for. Couples coming and staying for a few hours to have their alone time. Runa, a 29-year-old living in Japan, was in an all-pink room of the local love motel. He was waiting for her in the bathroom, but she had a few things she had to prepare first. She reached into her suitcase and pulled out her raincoat. She could smell the scent of the fresh plastic. She then reached in and grabbed gloves. Now, she was ready for him. 3 hours later, she would be seen rushing out of the motel. Her dad was picking her up, and she didn’t want to be late. She got into his car in fresh clothes, and a blonde wig, and threw her suitcase in his trunk. The suitcase with the decapitated man’s head inside.
