Kirumi Tojo knew you were offering her your life.

She told you her motive. She told you that she needed to commit a murder. For her nation, for her people, she won't let herself die here. Even if it means having to kill someone.

Yet as you turned around, defenseless, and she held the wooden pole in her hand she could easily knock you out with, she found herself frozen.

Why? Why couldn't she kill you? She'd be saving so many others.

"Are you really going to let me take your life?"

For some reason, she wanted you to say no. It'd make it easier if you fought back.
