A rogue attack on Jiro leads to an invitation to meet with Zelman Clock, leader of one of the three houses. He invites the brothers to stay and join forces with him, before they become enemies. As such is not likely to happen, Jiro sets off in search of another vampiric house to join, but much to Mimiko's chagrin, every door is closed to the Silver Blade. It seems he attracts too much trouble. As they call it a day and head back to the Compromiser's apartment, an explosion proves just how much trouble Jiro can attract.
