Charice may have been a senshi now, but she still lacked a certain situational awareness, a general... focus on her surroundings. Even as the newly awakened Eriphyla, she tended to be lost to her daydreams, or whatever caught her eye that drew her attention at the current moment, pulling her away from other, more important things.

Some might have found this worrying, because a senshi that didn't pay attention to what was going on around them was bound to find themselves in trouble of the dangerous sort, but Eriphyla, who had no team (that she knew of), and had only probably paid attention to half of what Ember had told her, was oblivious as ever.

Tonight, one of the first times she had powered up since the Bombay had given her her henshin pen, was one of those examples. While she should have been paying more attention to her surroundings, Eriphyla's focus was elsewhere, as usual, and instead of keeping watch for any youma or Nega agents that may try to sneak up on her, she was, instead, petting a stray dog, who had seemed friendly enough.

Really, she made herself so easily a target.
