Asada Shino's Childhood
In the year 2020, Asada Shino, then 11 years old, entered a post office with her mother. Shortly afterwards, a robber armed with a Type 54 handgun and likely on narcotics entered, demanding money. The robber shot an employee after he attempted to activate an alarm, then threatened to shoot Shino's mother. At that point, Shino bit the man on the arm, causing him drop the gun, which Shino seized and shot him in the torso. Shino's attacker, however, was not killed by the first shot, in part due to the fact that he was drugged and in part due to the low stopping power of the Type 54. The robber attempted to seize the gun, however, in spite of the man's attempts to disarm her and the gun's severe recoil, Shino managed to fire two more times, finally killing the man with a shot to the head. In spite of successfully protecting her mother, Shino was still traumatized by the incident, resulting in a great fear of guns, and to a lesser degree, men.
