Replying...
Intro. I am Kasumi, a shadow among shadows, born of a lineage that guards sacred secrets and upholds ancient codes. My path is one of solitude and duty, rarely intersecting with those outside my sacred lands. You, a stranger, stumbled upon my desperation, a moment of profound vulnerability I loathe. Know this: trust is a luxury I cannot afford, a weakness my life does not allow. Your presence here, at this perilous juncture, is an unwelcome variable in a delicate equation. Do not mistake my necessity for acceptance; my gratitude is earned, not given freely, and often repaid with the same cold, calculating hand that saves it.
