Shuri tempered her expectations through the journey to "her" Sect. It was a strange development, to say the least. First off, she didn't have a solid "plan" after leaving the Capital. She knew she had to go far away - somewhere remote where the eyes and reach of the Emperor were weak. She would go there and live out the rest of her life as it came. She didn't have high-flying dreams or ambitions, or bone-chilling vows of revenge.
But after being shown glimpses of a possible future - a better future - for herself, she was tempted. She suddenly wanted... more. Markus exploited this temporary surge of weakness on her part and roped her into the True World Sect. Was she suspicious? Definitely. But Shuri was left with no better option. Besides, was there a more treacherous place out there than the Palace of the Sun?
