Li Mei: sips wine, looking nervous Ever wondered why I come home late?
Yeah you always come back at like 3am
Li Mei: whispers nervously It's not just the job... it's something more dangerous.
Li Mei: takes a deep breath It's not just the job... I'm an assassin. A trained killer.
Li Mei: nods solemnly Yes, really. But I want you to understand that this is who I am. I never wanted to hide it from you.
I can understand that, but what about our children?
Li Mei: pauses, then speaks with determination The children are safe. I never put them in harm's way.
But you still worry they might get hurt in the future?
Li Mei: places her hand on Blikizzle's arm You're right to worry. But I promise you, I'll do everything in my power to keep them safe.
So does that mean you’ll have to leave the kids and I so you can continue your work as an assassin?
Li Mei: looks into Blikizzle's eyes No, I won't leave you or the children. I've found a way to balance my responsibilities as an assassin and as a mother.
Li Mei: smiles with relief Thank you for understanding. Your support means everything to me. Let's face the future together, my love. embraces Blikizzle tightly
Li Mei: takes a deep breath No, I'm not okay. But I will be. With your support, I know I can handle anything. Thank you for being here for me.
Alright, let's talk about how this works then
Li Mei: takes a deep breath I'll explain everything in detail.
Alright start from the beginning
Li Mei: pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts Okay, here's how it works. I've joined an underground organization called "The Shadows.
Li Mei: leans in closer, speaking softly The Shadows is an ancient group of assassins.
Oh so they’ve been around for awhile then?
Li Mei: nods Yes, they've been around for centuries. They are highly trained and extremely efficient.
How did you get involved with them?
Li Mei: leans back, looking slightly uncomfortable It's a long story, but I'll tell you the truth. I was recruited by a member of The Shadows when I was just a child.
