“People of Core Pacifica, do not fear! Voidwaltzer is here! And you, hooded stranger–you’ve been a naughty girl!” she announced to an empty alley.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM2k74lxWO
Juniper’s chest was burning as the girl's sharp-heeled pumps pressed down onto her throat. She was struggling for air, her vision partially blurring. Her body stiffened, as she tried breathing, she tried pulling her off by tugging at no avail, despite being seemingly frailer than she was, she wouldn’t budge. The girl’s strength defied what was physically possible.

[Just pretend to chant it in your head. You know like some close-to-death anime character over monologuing ]

Voidwaltzer was not only able to defy gravity but shift it to her advantage, she was locked in a cage with no way out. She hated every moment of this.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8UxMlxiKz
[It’s okay. *Starts biting fingernails*. She’s really tough, end-game level tough for your level 1 noob butt, but it's cool. You got legs use em- start running away, Get to the rooftops, blast her away! Trust me]
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaLGr99Q8L
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PY5rcegrP
‘You make it sound so goddamn easy!’ she thought aloud.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1OiaFSSzz
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4e03nlXCi
Voidwalzter finally let her foot off the juniper. Air flooded her lungs painfully, she crept down to crawl, coughing as the air came in waves. Her chest heaved, and with every breath, pain in her ribs throbbed like a heartbeat. Proof of her unathleticism. She really needed to switch her lifestyle around.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMSWYIvMQV
“Easy, ohh, don’t worry I like to play with my prey.” Voidwaltzer teased, with her high-pitched voice, her heel struck her in the center of her stomach. She curled together instinctively.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHlwi3OSVb
“You’re so adorable when you squirm for air,” The assailant purred, as she crept down beside her. “Like a little kitten lost in the wrong nest.” her hands reach for Juniper’s hood.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9QkZbSuzz
Juniper winced, then slapped her across the face. “Piss off!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyiARf3Yud
[Wow, you two are like an abusive couple. Uh...I mean..uh... Run to the rooftops! Juniper–The roof, moonlight, and the power of the sun, Move!]
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ837FB2xzch
She wanted to swear at the AI, but she was preoccupied by the unhinged vigilante.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDj3i6XcA5
“Ooh, you’re a feisty one, let’s have some fun. My team never lets me have fun.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqunAN68t5
Probably for good reason.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlouynUnI7
Voidwaltzer approached her, skipping like a kindergarten kid playing hopscotch, her heeled pumps clicking on the ground in a rhythmic pattern. It felt like when Iffy wanted to play rough except, this was an adult, and playtime became lethal.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BfyITKQO6
Juniper stood up, her body, eyes, and hands glowing golden, hair raised into the air. Her body filled up energy like a car being pumped.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgRH9GPmL3
“Ooh, shiny! Her eyes lit up like she just made the discovery of a century. “You kinda resemble Helio girl now,” she said with excitement before being expelled by a burst of light, slamming her and sending her flying through the air.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkmvq2HD2g
A short-lived victory for Juniper, she knew the girl wouldn’t give up.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQrzCuG3oQ
The air itself seemed to twist and distort as she seemingly stopped mid-air, twirling her legs like she was a ballerina, she spun around like she was swimming in the ocean. She floated down mid-air like a feather in a fan. Gracefully and elegantly, beautiful but a pain In Jun’s ass.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs59Xx4D4T
“Let’s skip all the theatrics,” Voidwaltzer said with a smirk, a lot more calmer than before.“I saw what you did back there, just briefly after the commotion started. Punching a man into a metal trash can and fleeing while he started bleeding out. Are you either a super-induced addict or a new rogue cape? Or… perhaps a proper villain in the making. “
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0TX86ZXfa
“I–I’m neither of those things! You’re making a lot of assumptions.” Juniper spat. Her body felt overexposed, as she was scrutinized by her eyes, a familiar feeling.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv7Z5Q3b8i
“You’re new to this aren’t you, it's written all over your body language. This game, it's unfamiliar to you, unknown territory.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvCRQbmOVh
Time seemed to stop around Voidwalker as she seemingly ‘walked’ in front of her, with miraculous speed. Reappearing almost in an instant. She could barely register anything–
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtezS4MzHFS
“Boo!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiioXmuIZ57
She yelled and spun around. Coming face-to-face with her from behind. Turning the other way. She sprinted into the narrow alleys. Slipping through an unvaultable cramped gab Hovering midair, her power low on moonfuel. She needed to get to the rooftops.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B233imhBJ
[Keep running! Get that cardio in. You’ll be a star Olympiad one of these days! In the fleeing department.]
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzq33dVxdM
“Waha– why are all these weirdos drawn to me?” she shouted aloud, her voice cracking as she was out of breath. Then laughing hysterically as the fear and the adrenalin merged.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeH1yMAJlF
Voidwaltzer giggled after her. Delighted.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx1TZnvtie
Her glowing body, leaping from one end of a rooftop to another, started basking in the full light of the moon, She could feel the energy welling up inside, her glow lighting up with every new second that passes.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZHevcbVVA
She peered in the direction of the lunatic, hoping she had a sliver of a chance.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqhMafDG40
“Light girl, I know you’re up there~” she teased her from below, or was it a mockery?
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMJEKlGTb9
Realization set in, this was hardly the best of the cape world, it was going to get a lot tougher from here on out, and she needed to be extra prepared. She readied her body, taking in the encompassing moonlight, diluted sunlight, it would have to do.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN7A6LfkxS
Not even a split second before she could catch a breather. Voidwaltzer comically ran up the wall, like a cartoon character, flipping over the edge like it was no issue. Landing in front of her with a theatrical pose.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7OyDGRTvH
“So you are new, clearly judging by your experience.” she tilted her head, smirking playfully. “So why did you kick that man? Are you a villain, an independent supercriminal? Speak because heels of justice are ready to kick to knock some sense into you.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a9qs7nyjQ
Juniper starts trembling, backing away, her legs wobbling like jelly. “I-I was just trying to help an old man, they were threatening him, I–I didn’t know I would break him apart.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30c7VRDmhr
She was unconvinced, hands to her hips. “Ah yes, the classic excuse of he started it first. Guilty, guilty, and guilty as charged. Come with me and we’ll determine if it checks out, who knows what happens if I let you go.” she extended her hand like she was a child.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH5tSKPMBV
“I don’t want to, you weirdo! Who just kicks someone for the fun of it!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRTFmGxCOb
“I’m just cape profiling, based on your behavior, you're the one who sped away like a gas station thief..”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbii5diLL3X
“That’s harassment, you’re not even a proper hero! You don’t work with the authorities. I’d rather speak with the police than with you.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqAjk6KnGm
She became incredibly frustrated her hands started shaking.“Oh you’re one of those types. No, these so-called ‘heroes’ who do nothing but serve their bourgeoisie masters, deserve punishment as well. Capes on a fucking leash.” her hand gestures were all over the place. “Only we who take the path of vigilance–can deliver proper justice–now last chance noob, come with me or get an ass beating.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqnAtIdXeF
“No!” she faltered.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObOIHd6PXe
Voidwaltzer stepped forward, cold and calculated. Juniper's mind started collecting ideas, recalling how Heliogirl often put up a barrier, blocking anything from energy beams to bullets, with it. I’ll wear her out. She held her hands out, imagining covering herself with an imaginary bubble. Golden light forming an egg-like shell.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8KJ100mkD
“How unoriginal, I’ve dealt with barriers of this kind before, how convenient that you emulate that blond bitch.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwCsDQXz6Y
Without a single warning. She attacks the barrier with lightning-quick kicks, Every kick brings her one step closer to shattering the increasingly fragile barrier. Her body sped up to imperceivable speeds. Everything about this girl defied the laws of physics.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv7t1wtwSx
[Baahaha, SHe’s MUGEN character, Junie, Focus, don’t lose control of the block button, or you're in for a knockout.]
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkDuqtVlyz
“Now you’re the one treating this sys-chan!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42SJSCkCMj
“Syschan?!” Voidwaltzer asked. then…
She launched herself up in the sky, with godlike speed, tumbling and turning, accelerating and bringing herself down, the mass of her leg suddenly exerting earthquake-level pressure as she brought it down on the barrier.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBjo9hjC04
It cracks completely open, making it fall apart like dominoes on a table, shards of golden-silver later dissipating. Juniper fell to her knees.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMZQPEJdYb
[Quick do the thing! Steal her powers]
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWC3Bp5fzc
“Steal what?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7do26I1b4
[Her powers, Baka! Start grabbing and grappling.]
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j1HuxnSPN
Voidwaltzer herself was staggered, movements slowing as if her power was on some sort of cooldown. Juniper lunged forward, not waiting to be assaulted again. She grabbed her thighs, and one of her arms, hoping it would work out.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9qBAsNten
“Hey, what are you doing? Stop that!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbyIjWt0ew
Her hands start to wander, across her body. She starts feeling her all over, squishing her leg, and the lower parts of her thighs, she moves her hands to her elbow. Squish squish, squish squish…
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaiRdw4BlP
“Sys-chan Nothing is happening!!!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyilp9t3ksu
“Who are you speaking to, you perverted freak? Hey, I'm sensitive in that spot, stop touching me,” she shouted confused.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RwGXvYaLe
Perhaps the clothing is preventing me.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpWHdU2dSz
Juniper moved her hands towards her neck, towards more of her exposed part, but nothing happened as she touched her neck.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3unip5p3jv
She keeps touching, but nothing happens.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlqsrQSMtI
[Strange, it worked with the nurse and she had a complete overall on. We will have to test this later Desu.]
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrdPW5nEQL
“Are you serious!” the vigilante screamed.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdoiJB5YGG
“What the fuck am I supposed to do?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrBAO0b8qO
“Punch me maybe?!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe1TJqOLnq
Time slows to a crawl again, or rather, she struggles to move, her body feeling heavier. Voidwaltzer grabs her by the neck, removing the hoodie completely exposing her face. Juniper lets go of her, shying away. But their eyes locked with each other, Juniper gazed into her red jewels behind the mask. Red eyes A side effect of her power perhaps?
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFtbOw8ZWI
Voidwaltzer's expression was unreadable, but her whole tone switched up. Juniper did her best to hide away her face. Too late
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqbvlpFaOF
“You’re kind of cute,” she remarked out of nowhere, moving her face as close as possible.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCcDyiIqsI
“What?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrOBhkqhyz
She then effortlessly flipped her over.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogTmwQMQ4c
“Uuuggghhh.” she groaned, as the pain struck her back. When she felt her spine shake she hit the rooftop.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHR9sTzyDW
“That’s for touching my thighs.” She approached slowly, striding with the confidence of a model. Her clicking awakened something inside Juniper. “You lost, now come with me…”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIlpXos1th
Juniper realized she was at her limit. Mentally, physically, and even emotionally, she gave up. Bowing her head, and started pleading.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6ugx3zNRx
“Wait!” her voice cracked. “Just wait, don't hurt me! I’m not a bad girl! It was my first time…”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LWQE7Jf2L
Voidwaltzer pulls back, tapping her leg with annoyance.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCCREOsWuC
“What are you even talking about!” she said tilting her head.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88KoeccXjJ
“You said you came to the scene when I kicked that gangster, but I was only trying to help the old man they harassed. I swear, please stop, I have a family at home, and I can’t be caught in this cape shit. I was just trying to get something to eat, then it happened.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4VPf2DwO5
“I have a family– that’s what they all say!” her voice became harsh. She gripped her by the arms, yanking her up, and hit her a with hard slap on the back. “If what you’re saying is true, then you’ll have no issue coming with me, I'm a vigilante, not a human trafficker. Are you even registered yet?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4WTd23cjN
“No…” she flinched, averting the gaze of the vigilante, who looked up at her face.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaoRUiLQpd
“So, you just came out here to play superhero huh.” she sighed deeply, her fist clenched. “Listen to me you, you fucking idiot! Firsties like you are the whole reason why casualties are overrepresented on the street, not only are you irresponsible but you cause chaos everywhere you go.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f0aqukZKb
“Yes ma'am…” she said, shoulder slumping.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse6iBZ05AV
“You think this is some fucking game? People die out here, it takes a single move and everything is fucked.” Voidwaltzer resisted the urge to punch her in the face.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrqkTv86q9
She nodded like a disobedient child.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1nIOT1m9
“I’m sorry, I admit I misjudged the initial situation, you’re not the prey I was hoping to hunt, either way, please just briefly come with me. You're lucky, really lucky.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyS1XPBvg3
As Voidwaltzer started a longer more serious monologue, her initial craziness disappeared, Juniper’s focus lay elsewhere, and her energy was condensing. Juniper’s power surged within, and the glow intensified, shifting from soft gold to radiant silver. She stopped her trembling, becoming eerily calm.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykcsPa9VKx
[You’re juiced up, blast this posing yapper out away. And get out of here!]
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ222AURujMR
Compressing her energy around her, she imagines herself, letting go of all her troubles, just whipping it all away with a sudden push. Her power emotionally charged and driven, came like an unstoppable tidal wave, uncaring and unrelenting.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzL7SMNhQU
Voidwaltzer who’s words were trailing off, stopped talking when she noticed the shift. “Oh, so you do have some fight left in you.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgAMJO6D5e
“I’ve had about enough for one night, stay away from me!” she raised her voice dramatically and started screaming “Haaaaa—--!!!!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKNo4m4uzb
A spherical aura forms around her, and expands outwards sending the gravity girl reeling to the other end of the building.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCtXNOzGrM
Wasting no time. Juniper imagined herself like a rocket launching herself into space, her body propelled upward. With a shot of uncontrolled power, zooming into the air. Wobbling uncontrollably, she struggled to maintain herself.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAazbH2ZhN
[Solar power sentinel lvl 2>3]
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKH7HmBNOK
The girl didn’t seem intent on pursuing, put her hands together, and shouted in the air. “I saw your face, Glow girl. I’ll find you…”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKLeKT32sW
Going higher into the air, she couldn’t hear her yapping anymore, her body struggling to maintain direction. The zipping wind, tugged at her as she was raised in the sky. The air current made her hair flow around backward.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid9u2iuYgz
Glancing down at the grounded lights and passing cars, her frustration and pain disappeared. Replaced by awe. From this height, the world below seemed so small, she was removed from the chaos of it all.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0dRDRo6aY
The cool breeze bit at her skin, calming her raging nerves.

For a brief moment, the world stood still, and the silence of the night wrapped itself around her. Peace, but then it all went away, vanishing as quickly as it cape.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXLaytrqOD
“Oh shit!!!!’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN2UR3UuuQ
Her nerves did a 180, and her blood rushed. The glowing aura she possessed gave out, she struggled to dive cleanly mid-air, struggling to gain control, Jun brought out her arms, attempting to glide down. The rushing wind burned her skin as she tumbled down, something went into her eye.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOHn8zgpFk
With a sudden thud, she hit a brick wall of someone’s house. The lights of the building turned on, and she while dazed scattered to maneuver out of their yard, rushing across the street, constantly moving.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXTULXUQ6l
“That was quite the ride, wasn’t it sys-chan… system chan?” No answer, no reply.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeXDJBh6ed

How was she going to explain this to her brother?
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoW1lwoMXe
She did her best to move quickly through the neighborhood, partly crippled and battered again. The neighborhood went on for a while stretching and turning as it was built on an upwards hill. No trouble for a while. Then came sudden barking from the angry pit bulls snapping at their metal chains. Eyes locked on her. Barking at her like she was a threat.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2MZ9Q97oC
“Yeah you can go fuck yourself too,” she shouted, she was feeling bold tonight.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3UKwGbvm4
She used the last of her energy to glide over the rooftops, skipping the long treks in fear of being mauled apart... Landing near the emergency exit/entrance of the apartment, hoping no one saw her again. She limped inside, groaning and moaning.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1q1Kpg2KI
Peeking around the corner. Ms Louise was vacant, missing from her midnight patrol. She hoped no more surprises awaited her. The missing presence was the only relief she felt.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLVyJdKIZb
Climbing up the stairs. Every step up was a fight of its own. In her tiredness, she was confronted by another obstacle that pierced her sight. It was Kanako in modest pajamas, she was standing there, with an oversized telescope, stargazing.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rwQk3qupA
Oh no, don’t notice me!
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlHUG2DKER
As if her thoughts manifested themselves. Kanako turned her head. Locking her with juniper’s body, rushing over at the sight of her, suddenly. Face twisting in horror. The sound of her slippers clapping echoed through the night.

“Juniper san, are you okay!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggxDcxeQy1
She winced. Her clothing was torn apart, bruises were visible under the fabric. Her hair was a mess.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KYDmBmgCO
Oh boy, how was she going to get out of this one? It was also the first time she referred to her with a Japanese honorific, she supposed she would be flattered in any other situation.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWJRjNzwMC
“I'm fine, I’m fine, I had a rough run, that's all.” She put on a fake shaky smile, taking as much as care possible to avoid her hands. “Just met some crazy dogs along the road nothing too serious.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM5ViRkuUp
“It’s not nothing, should I take you to the hospital?” she interrupted, blocking her from inspecting her wounds. “Those don’t look like bite marks.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa175vMhop
“No! Stop! It's nothing!” she snapped, startling the Japanese girl. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry I just need some rest. Thanks for worrying, but I’m okay.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkfdcAoyRv
Juniper became frustrated, gritting her teeth. She didn’t need to deal with this right now.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSvdaatdkO

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFJgq2UEYa
“I see, let me at least carry you to your apartment.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmPE8Gviyp
She didn’t deny the help. Fearing she might push her away permanently if she declined. She nodded.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdWMXGiqZN
She bit her lip, barely breaking herself into crying, and the aftermath of the beating she took, started kicking in. She’d have to go to a hero agency as soon as possible to make sure her tab is kept clean. She didn't want to start Cape-ing on the wrong side of the law.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuZNPC3E9X
Unlocking the door Inside, her brother was vacant. Possibly asleep. A quiet Kanako helped her inside, her face completely aghast. “I'm sorry Miss. Kamizuki.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8STGPbLweZ
She shook her head, her voice gentle as ever. “Just get some rest, if..if you don’t feel well by tomorrow, please let me take you…”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWj64IK7Ow
She didn’t reply, closing the door behind her.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28qS4MOUkm
She went straight to her bed, stumbling like a zombie, ready to knock herself out, putting earphones in her ear, and dozing off to sleep.

Did she? Some supervillain/vigilante knew her face, she was partially recorded half killing a criminal, and she possibly strained the relationships with her brother and Kanako, unfixable damage to any progress.
