Ara Jun knew where Shin was. Everybody in EDF did—there was a huge bounty posted for his head. The head that was still in one of the most infested regions of Kyoto, even though it was a suburbia at the edge of the city. The entire region was a prime hunting ground for demons–countless people that were too late for evacuation still hid there.
Jun had to hide from a patrolling demon long before she got there. Some of those demons were extremely perceptive—there was no hiding from their eyes, even behind walls. Watchers of Ocellus… Jun thought she read about them. It felt like a lifetime ago.
The only way Jun could get to Shin was by fighting, and she'd rather not do it alone. She knew that if she simply asked Aratanawaru, he could've given her people to help. But she'd rather kill herself again than willfully seek the demigod's presence, or give him reason to use his puppetry on anyone to give that order.
