While it wasn’t uncommon for the Dynasty to have visitors pop up from time to time, having them tread this deeply into the territory was rather unexpected. Especially when it was so early in the morning, too. Izumi awoke from her sleep this morning from yet another nightmare – these episodes would be the death of her – and maybe it was because of the cold sweat she’d woken up in that spiked her paranoia.

Her gaze narrowed – It certainly wasn’t someone she recognized, though it was hard to make a proper assessment of that from where she stood.
