"No one sent me," she insists. "I'm part of the Shi-mi-zu clan. You would have met one of us before, but since it's just me now, it's taken me a while!" Raimei says this stridently, absolutely closed to any implication that she needs sympathy for what she's just inferred.

Raimei steadfastly ignores any harsh pangs that reminder causes. She's here for a reason, and if she stays here, she's both fulfilling the obligation passed onto her by her mother and is sure to run into the man responsible for her death eventually.
