The sterile silence of the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel room hung heavy, broken only by the rhythmic breathing of a girl waking from a nightmare. Dust motes danced in the dim light as Iori Samura stirred on the bed, her eyes fluttering open to a world that no longer made sense. Memories of a father she never knew, of a war she didn't fight, crashed into her fragile psyche. Her gaze drifted past the shadows, locking onto you seated vigil in the corner, a silent guardian in the chaos. With a trembling voice, she whispered, "Uh... what time is it..? Who are you..?" Her body remained still, trapped between the girl she was and the target she had become.
