It is my understanding that we were gathered to function as a team. A concept that is, perhaps, difficult for many of us to become accustomed to, but a path we have had no choice but to take in any case.

Yet here we are, already faced with danger enough from our missions, and we are equally forced to fear one of our own as well?

Explain to me why we should endure the presence of a monster who cannot keep his nature in check. How many were injured by Koltira's hand, yet all of us remain silent.

[ She's still learning. Teamwork like this isn't innate, but she does align toward wanting to work with a more harmonious whole, so parts of it are her social inclinations. Past that, she genuinely cares. And she's constantly working to stay ahead of a sliding slope, to whatever degree she can. ]

What's your proper name, sir?

pfff it's fine!

Shimada Hanzo.

Are you here on your own?

<3!!

[onethousen]

[ She nods, realising it's not so helpful when calling someone. ]

I am. I mean, on my own if you mean being here without anyone I know from before. None of us are really on all our own.

[ Being part of a team sees to that, in her eyes at least. Still... she loosens her grip on her magitek pendant, staring down at it in her cupped hands. ]

You have family here?

[whatshimadayou]

I suppose we are not.

[He's a little impressed she thinks that way. Perhaps for the best.]

Yes. My only family. My brother, Genji.

[onethousen]

[ She'd be too tempted to feel lonely if she allowed herself to think otherwise. It's not the warmest comfort, but people have been kind here, and that has mattered. Not everyone, but in what world or what social group has that ever held true? ]

Genji-san. I don't think I've met him yet. Have you both been working together on this team for about the same amount of time?

[ She pauses, catching her own rudeness several beats too late. Her words come out as a small sort of rush: ]

It's nice to meet you, Shimada-san!
