History

As children Sagi and Toki were inseparable, sharing their days with a close friend named Chishima. After Sagi's death, his spirit appeared to stop his grieving sister from taking her own life, pressing into her hands a pocket watch frozen at the moment of his passing. Toki vowed to make that time move again by exposing whoever was behind his suspicious end, disguising herself and ruling as daimyo in his place to hunt the culprit. His name, like those of his father and sister, alludes to a bird, echoing the Japanese word for heron.
