Elisa, Vincent, and Adam were all best friends. One day, Elisa, Vincent, and Adam went out very late to a karaoke bar. While walking home they needed to cross the street. Elisa, being a law-abiding citizen, stopped and clicked the button to cross the street, even though it was so late there were no cars on the street. Vincent, on the other hand, realizes there is no camera on the light and no cars are coming, so he went ahead and crossed the street regardless of the legality.
