The X-Project

I am dumb and forgot to post. After Mariko's funeral, Shiro is back in the States briefly, and Logan comes to offer him the solace that a warrior requires. Shiro starts to find peace again.

( Do you think I'm belittling you by bringing you here, feeding you, offering you drink, and listening to you? Strange notions you have. )

Backdated to Sunday evening in Tokyo.

Shiro, Clarice, and Leyu go to Japan for Mariko Yashida's wedding to one Noburu Hideki. Is it paranoia if they really are out to get you?

( Cleave apart the memories of those faraway days with your hands. End the breath of sadness. )

The wedding ceremony begins, but The Hand reveal their true intentions. Shiro and Clarice find themselves involved in a fight for their lives.

( I've already tried to keep standing many times. But that's probably not the answer, right? )

Another day, another dozen bodies. Shiro fears for his homeland's future.

( Shiro was not going to throw his laptop out the window. )

Backdated to Sunday the 19th, early afternoon Japan time. Shiro and Clarice are spending the weekend at a ryokan inn in Hakone, and are enjoying themselves very much. Until they encounter scouts from The Hand. Then their vacation is ruined.

( They are called The Hand. They do not care much for my family. )
