You're standing on a beach, your mother crouching beside you while your older brother (who you've only met today; he's always in America but he came to visit your family in Japan!) lays on a chair behind you. In front of you, a girl your age runs up, calling out to the boy who just made your brother laugh by calling him a clown.
"Aa! Shinichi, there you are! Your mother's looking for you!" The boy - Shinichi - turns to look at the other girl and greets her before the girl - apparently her name is Ran! - continues.
"You're still playing Holmes?"
"I'm not playing! I'm gonna become a detective, and that's my training!" Shinichi answers, as if it's obvious that's what he's doing. Ran continues, looking worried.
"But you'll be in danger if you overdo it! Those onii-san were really angry!"
Just as Shinichi says that they were asking for it, three scary looking men show up, the one in front glaring as he says that he finally found Shinichi and that he put them to shame. You step closer to your mom, suddenly nervous about what these men want and not wanting to get close to them. Shinichi, on the other hand, doesn't look scared at all, and even talks back - you don't know how, since those men look really angry with him!
"That's your fault, putting a fly in a yakisoba you almost finished eating and making a big fuss to leave without paying..."
One of the men roughly scruffs Shinichi's hair, still glaring as he says that they would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for Shinichi. Just as you're getting really scared of what will happen, your brother gets up and walks over, using an attack you've never seen before to almost hit the leading man in the eyes! The three men look scared now, stepping back as your brother talks.
"Sorry, but this boy's with me. If you have anything to say to him, tell me first. Well, if you're okay with losing both your eyes, I'm ready to listen..."
The men run away, yelling that they're sorry as you approach your brother, impressed by what he just did and wanting to ask what it was. However, Ran asks first, calling it cool, and you think that she's right - what your brother did was very cool! Your brother turns to look at Ran, smiling a bit as he answers.
"Finger jab! In Japanese, 'blinding in a fight'. That's one of Jeet Kune Do's techniques."
You decide on the spot that Jeet Kune Do sounds really cool, that your brother is extremely cool, and you want to ask your brother where he learned, but he guides Shinichi and Ran over to you before you can.
"Sorry, can you two play with my little sister? Looks like she wants some friends..."
Shinichi agrees, and while you wanted to spend more time with your brother, you decide that you can go play with Shinichi and Ran.
