After returning to Kyoto in late fall 1863, Izo realized he didn't have any place to go. He can't go to the Tosa residence because he's considered a deserter from his domain, and he's wanted for his involvement in several tenchu murders.

Once he sells his long sword, he has the funds to do alright for a few months, but by spring 1864, he's run out of money and finding a place to spend the night is an ongoing challenge. This night, he's sleeping in an unused shed near the outskirts of town.
