The revolutionary army had agreed with Ashe that if she found an opportunity to sneak out, she should place any gathered intelligence under a marked brick in a small alley not far from Renji's mansion.
If things went particularly smoothly, Ashe would find a simple pager at the meeting spot. By pressing it, the revolutionary army would understand she was available for a direct meeting and would send someone quickly for a handover.
However, it seemed to happen too quickly.
A member of the revolutionary army, also using a cloak to hide their demi-human identity, arrived swiftly at the agreed location after receiving Ashe's signal.
But they didn't show herself immediately. Instead, she first scouted around Ashe's location to ensure no ambush was set up before actually approaching Ashe.
Removing the cloak revealed the face of a Tiger female, a leader of the revolutionary army.
"Ashe!"
"Eh!? sister Jiu! Why are you here personally?"
