On his way to see Inspector Ishida, Usagi is confronted by Shogunate guards...a sign of the times. While unraveling a pair of murders in town later, Usagi and Ishida become wary as they find the corpses stripped of all identification-except for a talisman that leads to a startling discovery. Part one of seven-the perfect place to start.
