My inquiries have been noticed. I am uncertain of what attention I have attracted.
I found the place where Kiyosatto-sama was killed, beneath a tsubaki tree and it was there a man spoke to me, though he was hidden from sight. "If you wish to know the identity of your fiance's killer be there at sunset tomorrow..." and as those words were spoken a dart embedded itself in the tree with a note tied to the shaft. It contains directions to a location outside of the city.
I don't know what I have attracted but I can only imagine that danger is involved, much more than that of a woman traveling alone. This will draw me into the violence here more than I have been already... in a way I may not survive. But how can I not respond to an offer that will give me exactly what I wanted when I left Edo?
