Let me die in your arms tonight

Shinganshina was a tough district in the 1920s. Families lived in cramped, insalubrious apartment stacked over each other in tall towers. The infant mortality was quite high so the families had not to bother to feed dozens of mouths which was a blessing in its way since the taxes were bone crushing high. Most people worked at the neighbouring factories under precarious conditions. Mortal accidents were part of the daily routine for adults and children. For the unlucky ones whom parents had died and couldn't afford the city life any more, they were left to fend on their own until the day they would meet their fate in the dirty streets of Shinganshina.
