After the incident when play fighting with Taigen and his little "sword" woke up when it did. Even when Mizu revealed what's happening at Edo, Princess Akemi marrying the Shogun son, Takayoshi. Abijah Fowler planning to kill the Shogun and take over the castle. She knew Taigen would be mad and she isn't surprised that he called her a demon. After Taigen left and threw the broken blade at her to the floor. She later took time of herself, scowling herself for making the rash decisions to keep it from him. After what she did to Akemi in Mihonoseki. And leaving Ringo behind like that, disappointing him.

This is why Mizu had told herself that in her mission there is no place for friendship and weaknesses. And here it is...thinking about people's feelings that are in her life. In her way of her revenge that she is just almost there to finish it. But as she was in the woods alone, far from Master Eiji's inn workplace. Mizu needed to have a clear mind from the little problems. Already enough with her sword being broken in half.

Mizu heard some noise in the woods as she looked around in her surroundings. Balled her fist for a defense, but she sees a fox ahead who had appeared. With sharp color of it's eyes looking at Mizu in her blue eyes. Mizu's eyes widened to see a fox in her sight ahead. Calming down as her fist loosen, taking up the appearance of the fox.
