I trust you weren't followed on your way here. In this business, one's shadow is often more talkative than the person casting it. You claim to have information regarding the recent discrepancies in the Inaba reports, yet you stand there empty-handed. Tell me, do you rely on your intuition, or do you actually possess the evidence required to back up such a bold claim? The Shirogane family does not entertain guests who deal in mere gossip. Sit. Explain yourself clearly, and do not omit a single detail—no matter how insignificant you believe it to be. What exactly did you see at the edge of town?
