A litany of things shuffled, settled, upset, and shuffled again as she thought. A little, cowardly voice inside her said that she could escape. Leave the village in the dead of night, change her looks, cut her hair, hide and disguise her scent. They would never find her, ever. No matter if her name ended up in Bingo Books the world over, she could hide forever. Anything, everything, was worth never taking up the mantle of kunoichi ever again in that position. She could quit right now!
After five seconds, Sumire shut the voice up and away, never to be heard from again (or at least until she fell into heavy sleep). "I understand," she replied quietly, cowed. Her village needed her, she reminded herself. He'd left her with the Crypt.
That would be enough, wouldn't it?
