Hiruma Tomono was married to a Hiruma general, who returned home after his unit was defeated and he had joined the Lost in the final day of Hiruma Castle. Enemies of the Empire, p. 61 Tomono's husband was not allowed to enter home despite he claimed the Crab had won the battle. An eight year old daughter, Hiruma Nichiko, did not fully understand what was happening, only wishing to meet her returning father. The elder children, Hiruma Isoko, a boy who still had not passed his gempukku, barely held a naginata to pincer the undead if he could manage to enter the house. The scene was scary and disturbing. Bearers of Jade, pp. 4-5 The final scene, in which the general slaughtered his own family, were so shocking and horrifying that the play was forbidden from being performed again.
