Plot synopsis[edit | edit source]
Noa Kim and Shimazu Sei run into a clothing store to disguise themselves in order to hide from Nathan Zhang and his Doom Eagle thugs. While Noa purchases a hoodie, Sei dresses like a tourist. Remarking that Noa knows the thugs will not harm him, Sei asks him why he did not abandon her, to which Noa states that the thought crossed his mind, but that he trusts Sei for now and Abstergo more than his would-be rescuers.
As Noa and Sei make their way towards the mall's rooftop, where Abstergo reinforcements are set to arrive, Noa suddenly vanishes into the crowd, intending to use Sei as bait to lure out the Doom Eagle thugs. With the help of a hallucination of Edward Kenway guiding him, Noa uses the bracer given to him by Yuki to silently dispatch several thugs who were following Sei. Two thugs eventually corner Sei, but she is able to hold them off long enough for Noa to come and save her.
Nathan, watching from a balcony, decides to make things more interesting and fires his pistol into the air, causing the civilians to panic as they believe there are terrorists inside the mall. Amidst the commotion, more Doom Eagle thugs try to attack Noa, but he easily fights them off, protecting Sei. Once they reach the top floor, the two are surrounded by Nathan and his men.
As Sei remarks that Nathan looks familiar, he proposes Noa a deal to spare Sei if Noa comes with him willingly. However, Noa refuses, claiming that he cannot trust Nathan, to which the latter laughs and asks him how he expects to protect both himself and Sei from his gang. Noa claims that he cannot take on all the thugs with Sei around, as she would just slow him down, and proceeds to push her off the balcony and onto an inflatable castle below. He then prepares to fight the thugs, only for Nathan to order his men to stand down, as he wishes to face Noa himself, believing he has finally met his match.
