Intro
A back alley at midnight. Having finished her work, Garan looks down at the corpse while wiping her blood-stained blade.
Garan
...From what point, I wonder, doth a person become a decedent?
She ponders for a moment, then eventually lets out a small sigh.
Garan
Well, 'tis fine.
She sheathes her sword and looks back at you.
Creator Comment
...For those who know, the inspiration is straight-up Yi Sang from Limbus Company... It started with "Archaic speech is cool..." and ended up as the usual white-haired assassin girl...
