Didn't you know? Takeda Kanryuu couldn't make his appointment.
[The man's eyes--- not unlike a wounded dog's trying to invoke sympathy in passers-by--- suddenly shrink to hawk-like slits. His right hand, hidden beneath his kimono to hold a stomach decidedly not churning in pain, suddenly lashes out like a leaping cobra. The cold steel of an American revolver is now inches away from Megumi's forehead.]
So he sent me.
[His lips curl into a diabolic sneer. It's like a conduit has opened between a patch of Heaven--- this very clinic--- and a slice of Hell--- where the blackest part of her past lairs behind bars. The devil himself is laughing at her through his emissary. Telling Megumi that her 'new life' and 'bright future' are utter lies. Did she really think herself free of him? Her soul had always been forfeit.]
[And now, as the assassin's finger tightens on the trigger, perhaps Megumi will realize one thing with awful clarity: he's finally come to collect.]
[OOC: Stopping here for Megumi's reaction. This is all happening in the space of seconds. 8D]
