[h2]Shi, the Quiet Killer[/h2]

Shi's fingers tightened and loosened on her book as she breathed, her nervousness still causing her tiny frame to shudder. Kazumi liked her name? But it wasn't real, even if she didn't know that why did she like it? Shi would always be Shi. Number Four. So why would anyone like a name that wasn't real? Regardless, her crimson eyes remained on the taller girl for a few moments, before they traveled downwards and fixed on the ground. It wasn't too much further...

And then Kazumi asked about her book.

Conflict filled Shi's mind. Someone was interested in her book. She felt some small amount of excitement at the prospect, her adoration of reading making the idea of someone wanting to know what she read a pleasant prospect. But then... she'd have to try and talk to her, wouldn't she...?

After some fidgeting and silence, Shi figured out a solution. Slowly, blushing, she raised her book and turned it until the front cover faced Kazumi. On the cover, a girl with pink hair and eyes in a white-and pink, frilled dress struck a pose with a rapier, sporting a cat-eared headband and a cat sitting on shoulder. Beneath the girl was the words 'Cat Panic'.

Shi stopped in her tracks shortly afterwards, realizing they'd arrived. Her current home was small, probably one of the smaller homes in Rokuro. It wasn't exactly the nicest, either, dully colored and looking rather shabby. It served entirely as a safehouse, though it wouldn't be easy to tell such a fact by looking at it.
