Sashi has to make her decisions fast. Hesitations are exactly what gets people to take interest in her. Sashi looks at the rising platform, seemingly a gladiatorial platform. Though the light is  a happy sight. It is only a tease as surely it leads to a stadium full of enemies watching her.

She moves towards the guarded archway and at first attempts to go by it relatively unnoticed, barking orders and threats at ciro as she gets close enouph to them.
