She never presumed she herself would live out her natural life, so she wouldn't mind leaving this world through an untimely death.
Hornclaw is a sixty-five-year-old female contract killer who is considering retirement. But while on an assassination job for the 'disease control' company she works for, Hornclaw makes an uncharacteristic error, causing a sequence of events that brings her past well and truly into the present.
