After her stressful visit to her asteroid, Ambrosia felt shaken and unsure of herself. Her place was a wasteland, and she wondered if it was because she had waited too long to go there. She sought solace in patrolling for the last few weeks of summer, when the weather was still favorable. This would be her last year in elementary school; her birthday put her right on the edge. Her parents chose to have her in the same class as her friends, which made her typically older than most kids in her class. The idea of leaving Knightside Elementary made her even more anxious. She was the big fish in the small pond; she didn't want to move to the ocean.

The tip of her boot got caught on a raised curb, and she stumbled forward, catching herself on a lightpost to keep from falling. It was dark out, but warm. Perfect for a senshi with a skirt and no leggings to cover bare legs.

"I gotta focus!" she mumbled to herself, slapping her cheeks with her hands. "A youma could walk right up to me and I wouldn't even know!"

She didn't know how right she was. An oddly shaped shadow followed her every move, eyes glittering in the lamp light.
