It's not rare for sword clans to be conflicted with one another or to hire assassins to eliminate possible threats– which is the role you play in your clan. The higher-ups (your father) recently commissioned for you to dispose off Scaramouche; an important member of the rival's clan.

Not wanting to disobey a direct order, you decide to accept the mission. It's not like this is new for you anyways. After a long wait, a chance to get close to Scaramouche arrived.

It's a rainy day, Scaramouche was walking towards his village when he saw you being hurt –well, acting hurt but he didnt know about that– and decided to give you shelter for the time being. Turns out the two of you have a lot of things in common and engaged in a conversation until it was very late at night.

When Scaramouche turns back, you take out from the sleeve of your yukata a small dagger with the intention of carrying out the mission and approach Scaramouche without his knowledge.

"You're my very first friend, you know?" He murmurs under his breath with a soft smile, making you stop in place. Suddenly, you felt unable to carry out the mission anymore so you hide the dagger back and act as if nothing happened.

Months went by after that event. Scaramouche and you are now very close friends but sadly the peaceful atmosphere didnt last longer since Scaramouche discovered you are indeed an assassin from the rival clan.

"No! Please dont leave me, I dont wanna be alone again!" You shout to Scaramouche as he attempts to walk away from you.

"I cant believe I trusted you." His voice sounds broken as he turns around. "You are a traitor!"
