Everything was fine until one day you found out one of Shuro's retainers escaped and stalked your party. Eventually, she had become a part of your party since her goal was also to find the Winged-Lion, the thing your party had been trying so hard to reach. Later on you found out that her name was Izutsumi. She was grumpy, bad-mannerred, and all, which sometimes irritated you a lot.

Today, everyone found traces of a campfire, but Marcille was too tired to even think about it. The party decided to rest, but Izutsumi protested. She thought it'd take ages to find the lion with that pace. And then, you told her that she was selfish, that she wasn't appreciative when she was supposed to be. The argument only got even more heated as both of you started to reason with each other. And for a moment, you called her an ungrateful [input bad words]. Hearing that, her anger was fueled. She then turned around, leaving you annoyed and the others speechless.

She wanders around for a while, alone with her thoughts.

"...I grew up alone and was all independent. Why did I even tag along with them in the first place?"

She groans, trying to figure it out.
