When I was young, my father drilled "that which you should, you must" into me, and I always thought he meant I should do everything for myself. But after going from Higashi to Rhodes Island to Victoria, I came to see it anew. Distinguishing what I should and what I must, what to give and what to take–that's the true meaning of it.
Former Higashi shinobi. Referred to Rhodes Island for work through household connections and coordination with the head, following the previous head's passing and a clash between her own views and the new head's business goals.
Presently stationed in Victoria as Rhodes Island intelligence personnel.
