Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

Continuing on through the halls of the hospital, the woman took a moment to take a breath. The air reeked. Substances, rot, and simple dust all corrupted the air space. It truly did smell bad. The woman shook her head. Regardless of smell, the hospital definitely had seen better days. Some halls looked like a small-scale war had broken out. Hopefully, she wasn't too late to look around. While her marks dying was truly her goal, it would not have had the some personal value should someone else have killed them.
They were her sin. She would be the one to perform penance.

Shirako had already summoned Yaksa and laid down some pre-emptive Sukukaja layers before the next Shadows appeared. She had had the grace period after hearing all the movement ahead of her, so, as they appeared, the woman had fewer worries than usual. One enemy was a tank. The other was some sort of mechanized killing tool. Whatever the case, the woman was ready. Elbows lined straight along her shoulders and blade pointed to the heavens, she willed for Yaksa to drive in. Both targets seemed dangerous, so she focused on the tank. Normally, this would be idiotic, but she'd dealt with the turret classification of Shadows far more than the drives. Plus, at least the turrets looked sensible. She never could quite grasp what a Drive was supposed to be.
The blow connected, then Shirako stepped in and swung her sword. Both blows connected safely. Her opponents already opened up with synchronized charging. Well, wasn't that cute? Either way, that gave the woman and her Persona another opening to attack. Getsu-ei and her blade sliced into the semi-solid tank's body. If it were a real tank, she would have had problems. Fortunately, Shadows didn't adhere to logic. The turret tried to ram her. She calmly stepped away. Unfortunately, due to the tank's size, her maneuverability was limited, which allowed the Drive to pierce her. The blow was powerful, but the woman withstood it well enough. She had armor and resistance to pierce, so she'd be fine. Instead of worrying, she and Yaksa attacked the tank again. The dual-blade combo finished the tank off. It also freed up plenty of space in the hospital hall.
The two swordsmen faced off against the Drive. With the speed enhancements and plenty of room, the fight was over quickly enough. They just had to whittle it down with bug bites, so to speak. One day, the woman would regain the edge she used to have.
