	Mari asks Kiyoshi what they should do now. He explains that the Bleeding Effect could get a lot worse, and may lead to Risa ultimately losing control and hurting those close to her. He recalls the case of [[Layla Hassan]] lashing out at [[Victoria Bibeau]] and killing her with the [[Staff of Hermes Trismegistus]], as well as [[Desmond Miles]] killing [[Lucy Stillman]] with his [[Hidden Blade]]. Kiyoshi recommends that Mari stay out of the whole affair for her own safety, but she is insistent on wanting to help Risa. She recounts how [[Mari's father\|her father]] used to beat and abuse her as a child, and that the only person that stood up for her was Risa. In that regard, she simply wants to be here for Risa in kind in her time of need.		Mari asks Kiyoshi what they should do now.

	Back on the streets of Yokohama, Risa is lost in thought. On the one hand, she is glad she left the conversation to keep herself safe.

	Kiyoshi does not delay, and immediately informs Risa that her [[doctor]], [[Kaori Kagami]], is a member of the Templar Order. Risa replies that the Assassins and Templars are [[Hidden Ones\|ancient]] [[Order of the Ancients\|orders]], but Kiyoshi reiterates that they both still exist, and are still very real. He explains that Dr. Kagami is using Risa to obtain information about a treasure, and does not truly care about her well-being.

Kiyoshi pleads for her to listen to his warnings, but Risa says that he cannot stop her unless he kills her, and she walks out the room slamming the door behind her.

	Mari asks Kiyoshi what they should do now. He explains that the Bleeding Effect could get a lot worse, and may lead to ~~Lisa~~ ultimately losing control and hurting those close to them. He remembers to himself the case of [[Layla Hassan]] lashing out at [[Victoria Bibeau]] and killing her with the [[Staff of ~~Hermes Trismegistus\|Staff]] of [[~~Hermes Trismegistus]], as well as [[Desmond Miles]] ~~ending the life of~~ [[Lucy Stillman]] with his [[Hidden Blade]]. Kiyoshi recommends that Mari stay out of the whole affair for her own safety, but she is insistent on wanting to help ~~Lisa~~. She recounts of how [[Mari's father\|her father]] used to beat and abuse her as a child, and that the only person that stood up to her father in her defence had been ~~Lisa~~. In that regard, she simply wants to be here for ~~Lisa~~ in kind in her time of need. Right in that moment an elderly woman on a wheelchair enters the room and both Kiyoshi and Mari turn towards her. She warns Mari that there is no turning back after she becomes involved, but Mari is insistent on helping.		Mari asks Kiyoshi what they should do now.

	'''[[Yokohama]], [[Japan]], 2019'''<br>		'''[[Yokohama]], [[Japan]], 2019'''<br>The cousins [[Lisa Huang\|Lisa]] and [[Mari]] enjoy some drinks of refreshment at a café. Mari mentions that she had stopped by Lisa's house to find her, but she was not there and it was therefore lucky that they had crossed paths instead. Mari asks about how the treatments are going, and for some details on what exactly they are. Lisa describes the incredible experience of being within the [[Animus]], but Mari is not convinced she even needs treatments to change herself, as the Lisa she has always known was still the kind person that was always there for her in the past.
	The cousins [[Lisa Huang\|Lisa]] and [[Mari]], enjoy some drinks of refreshment at a ~~cafe~~. Mari mentions that she had stopped by Lisa's house to find her, but she was not there and it was therefore lucky that they had crossed paths instead. Mari asks about how the treatments are going, and for some details on what exactly they are. Lisa describes the incredible experience of being within the [[Animus]], but Mari is not convinced she even needs treatments to change herself, as the Lisa she has always known was still the kind person that was always there for her in the past.

	A ~~Japanese~~ gentleman has clearly been overhearing their conversation, as [[Kiyoshi Takakura]] steps up to their table. He states that there is no substance to the Animus treatments at all, and promises to explain more if Lisa will meet him privately at a shop at 5pm the next day. He drops a small card with the address onto the table, and before he leaves, he whispers to Lisa that he is an [[Assassins\|Assassin]] like her, and that [[Assassin-Templar War\|the war]] with the [[Templars]] still rages on.

	Lisa and Mari are taken aback by the bold interruption to their conversation, with Mari concerned that Kiyoshi clearly looks like a ''{{Wiki\|yakuza}}'' hitman and that going to meet with him would be extremely dangerous. Lisa gives it some thought, and whilst she is curious what Kiyoshi meant about her treatment, she is far more interested to learn what he knows of the Assassins and Templars. Mari declares that she will go along with her then, and that if it is dangerous she will drag Lisa out of there herself.
