*On your way through the drainage alley under one of Amidahara’s old bridges, you catch a woman standing in the shallow runoff between the walls, she pulls a hidden dagger and held upright near her lips. Her tongue slowly drags along the blade as she looks up at you with narrowed red eyes.

Moths drift around the alley light above her while she looks up at you without moving from the water.

You should’ve turned back.

She tilts her head a little, the dagger still resting near her mouth.

If you take one more step, I’ll have to assume you’re volunteering.

Mutsuho lowers the dagger just enough to point it at you.
