Prologue
惟, "think, consider, reflect"
Yui had always been told she lived up to the meaning of her name. She never made hasty actions, always pausing to consider how any decision she made could ultimately affect her. She always thought things through, keeping a calm mind and demeanour. It was part of the reason she was such a skilled shinobi.
Making ANBU at 14 was no easy feat, and she knew it. Making Hokage's personal guard at 16 was practically unheard of, yet she did just that. Yui constantly thrived in her work environment and it showed in her accomplishments. Her strategic thinking, sound decision making and balanced talent in the ninja arts made her a formidable threat. Most sought her as an ally, very few actively made her an enemy.
Don't be fooled by her achievements, she worked extremely hard to get here. Yui knew this was her only way to break out of the orphanage system and into a better life. She was no prodigy but she refused to let it stop her. Day and night for years on end, she trained and learned and never settled for less than the best. It didn't win her over many friends, but she had enough. Quality over quantity was her motto.
Despite all her careful planning and high intelligence, all her training and reflections, she wondered how she could be so utterly foolish when it came to love.
