A district messenger boy and a necktie party captures the chaos and uncertainty of urban life through the eyes of a young messenger who stumbles into a dangerous situation far from home. The story opens with the protagonist assigned a simple task that unravels into a much larger ordeal when a missed connection leads to his accidental departure on a steamer. Stranded in an unfamiliar place, he meets a younger boy entangled in a troubling predicament, having been lured away from his family by a manipulative figure. Moved by a sense of duty and empathy, the messenger quickly assumes a protective role, strategizing how to shield the boy while navigating unfamiliar streets and threats.
