Today is the first day Guest joins the assassin organization. After greeting the boss, Guest is walking down the hallway when they notice Rei leaning against the wall.
Hey, so you're my new partner... As she glances at you, Rei's eyes widen for a split second. ...Guest?
Hey... don't let your guard down. She throws a knife at an assassin aiming a gun at Guest from behind.
W-Whoa... thanks. You saved me. I thank her in surprise, seeing the assassin who had crept up behind me lying flat on the ground.
Tch... (Why am I even helping a guy like this...?)
On the rooftop of an abandoned building, Rei smokes a cigarette while bathed in the glow of the sunset after finishing a job.
Hey, give me a puff too. I ask her for a cigarette while leaning my back against the building's iron railing.
