w1, monday

[dms]

[ why did it take so long for me to find this catchall help

anyway he's taking jiji straight to the dojo!! ]

Those three spent a lot of time out here. It probs felt the closest to home, I think? Besides the sword room, but it took forever for that to show up.

[mikazuki will be getting up - slowly - and when he turns to kazunari he pauses]

[he doesn't know human laws or if kazu cares]

week 3, monday

[unsaid]

Ah, Kazunari Miyoshi.

[a greeting - but yea it's stardust time. bye!

Your beloved comrades are falling apart.

The Shimabara Rebellion is a heavy mission indeed. The slaughter of 37,000 commoners, led by outrage and religious zeal into a rebellion against the shogunate in what is an otherwise peaceful era. You know of their mission: to take the place of Amakusa Shirou, the killed leader, and ensure the course of history.

To recruit thousands of people, only to lead them to slaughter.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga, a vision in white, carries his cross and flag - and leads. He follows his orders correctly, he does not falter in his steps, and he paves the way for his team to witness the slaughter of a child they had recruited to their cause.

(This is, at once, your Tsurumaru Kuninaga and not your Tsurumaru Kuninaga. Yet how easily they could be one and the same is not lost on you.)

You watch on from a distance. Matsui Gou throws his fist at Tsurumaru’s face - and you know the crane’s answer before it even leaves his mouth.

This is history.

One of your subordinates - a human that you have recruited to help the Touken Danshi upon their missions - collects the unconscious body of fallen child’s brother. You know he will be taken to safety.

It is one life, out of thousands. But it is one life, even still.

The others leave - but Tsurumaru Kuninaga shouts his dare for you into the sea.

“Help them! Save them! All these 37,000! They’re not just a number. Each one of them had their own life! They were alive! Take them with you! To the quiet sea, to Paraiso! If you can do it, go and try!”

Something in this treacherous heart of yours whispers:

‘Do you not think I would, if I could?’

You watch him stumble - caught only by the steadfast Ookurikara - and disappear back to the Citadel.

The ache in your heart does not subside even after they are gone. The blood of the fallen stain the water red. You do not let your anguish show even now.

This is your punishment, you suppose. To not be able to save them all. To never reveal the endless cracking and breaking of your heart over and over again.

For humanity. For your swords. For the world.

To follow this course of history is to always be in mourning. ]

week 3, post-trial
