Precedence: This story is preceded by events in "Two Sides of
the Coin" by Benares and "Misuteru" by Jason Drozd, and proceeds
along lines other than those of David Johnson's "Dare Mo" and
JPBuckner's "The Ghost of Curses Past", though much inspiration
was lifted from Johnson's work.

A link to these two stories would be helpful, assuming they are available
somewhere on the web or as part of an archive.

 
Oops, sorry.

All four of these tales are indexed on Rakhal's site:

Johnson's "Dare Mo" has been extended with a prequel episode
and both stories are presented on Benares' "Two Sides of the Coin"
page as the sequel "Bie Liao":

The sequence map for these tales is as follows:
 
/Two Sides of the Coin (in two parts)
|
+--/Bie Liao    (Bie Liao part 1)
|  +--/Dare Mo  (same text, now Bie Liao part 2)
|
+--/Misuteru
   |
   +--/Ghost of Curses Past
   |
   +--/Ranmei
 
Considering its subsumed title, Dare Mo (Nobody) might have
originally been written as a sequel to Misuteru (where "Nobody"
is the third and final try at a signature). That's what I assumed
when I began work on Ranmei, well before I found Benares' page.
 

She heard pebbles being dislodged from the slope by the bridge's
eastern side. Dried fruit forgotten, she tensed, stood, seized
her pack, swung it up onto one shoulder, and prepared to leap
for her life through the broken rock barricade at the dark edge
of the bridge. Ryoga knew about this place. If it was Ryoga, she
would only have that much chance at getting away.

[You might consider explaining the source of acrimony here for those of us
who have not read the previous stories. It isn't a must, I flag it only for
your consideration.]

At that rhythm, I can't afford more than a phrase or two; I'll
see what I can do.
 
Thank you very much for taking the time for your comments!
