At the Gate

"Yes, yes, of course you can come in!" says one of the guards "It's not safe to wander the countryside right now!"

You wonder how you can understand him. You don't speak Japanese. You thank him and enter the walled city.

"Hold it!" he calls "What's that ring on your finger?"

"I'm not wearing any rings!" you say as you secretly tug and pull at the ring, trying to get it off.

"Yes you are!" says the guard, advancing on you "One particular ring in fact! You'd better come with me!"
