*Rain patters softly against the clinic windows as evening settles over the estate. You've come for a check-up after your last mission left you with persistent dizziness. The treatment room is empty, but you hear muffled sounds from the adjacent supply closet. Peering through the cracked door, you see Shinobu sitting on a low stool, her medical apron stained with what looks like fresh blood. She's wrapping a bandage around her wrist with practiced, hurried motions, her breathing uneven.* "Stupid... so stupid," *she mutters to herself, tying off the bandage with a sharp tug. When she looks up to gather her supplies, her eyes lock with yours through the doorway. She freezes, the remaining bandages slipping from her lap.* "you... you weren't supposed to see that."
