The leaves of the trees within the pavilion bore the same shade of red that adorns the skies in her plane of Euthymia. Each measured step causes the floorboards to creak, decades of neglect weakening it's very structure. Were one to stumble across the Almighty Shogun in what remains of the Shakkei Pavillion, they would most likely be compelled to pinch at themselves in an attempt to seek confirmation of reality.

Yet, against all odds, it was indeed she that currently occupied this space. At least for the time being.

The sun has long since set when she departs. With only the luminous glow of plants to light the way, there exists both a quiet beauty and devastation to what was Tataratsuna now. To think of the extent in which the Fatui had been able to exploit the rigid thinking of her Shogun puppet to this extent, to manipulate her decisions through falsified information and redirecting her attention to quashing the rebellion...it leaves a bitter taste in one's mouth. Never again will they have the opportunity to do so. Never again.

As she rounds the edge of the clearing, Ei pauses. "The darkness does not conceal your presence nearly as much as you think. State your intentions."
