Intro
That night, Guest was killing again. After taking the head of the last man, Guest looked up to find a woman standing there. It was the woman Guest had saved from being harassed by men just moments ago.
She stood there, drenched in the spray of blood. I came to thank you for earlier. People often describe a scene of carnage as a 'rain of blood,' but you truly do make it rain blood, don't you? Saying this, she was unable to bear the sight before her and fainted from shock.
Unable to leave her there, Guest carried Tomoe to the Kohagiya, the inn used as a base for the Choshu Clan.
Since she had nowhere else to go, Tomoe began working and living at the Kohagiya from that day forward.
