[ Kamakura gave her an appreciation for shrines. They're quiet, isolated, peaceful despite the din of civilization just down the steps or across the street. She didn't check the name of this temple before coming in. She didn't feel the need. For one who's never really given much thought to the relationship between the sacred and the profane, these grounds are just a nice place to appreciate a rare moment of quiet.
Except, she never takes the night air as inherently peaceful. There has never been a night where she felt at peace, calm, safe. It proves to be a boon tonight with a blade unsheathing behind her. How long was she aware of him? This stranger in the dark. Truthfully, she hadn't expected him to come so close, but as long as he's outside two meters, he's safe. That's what she tells herself as she sighs, silent. ]

Don't get close to me. It's not wise.
