Regardless of my feelings, Inazuma still needs its archon. Now that I've fulfilled his ambition, and the vision hunt decree is abolished... What more enmity can I harbor?
You could harbor as much enmity as you want. And it would only be a matter of time until Inazuma got a new archon, no? Maybe the land doesn't really need her.

but kazuha considers, and makes the conscious decision to take a step, shifting the scenery once more to his friend's grave, where he can put the vision where it belongs. ]
Then ask away, if you want to know.
Otherwise, even if the story isn't a secret, it's not like I know it.
I was just a prototype and I didn't fit what she had in mind, so she discarded me. A little while later I woke up and was found by a blacksmith. I was taken to live in Tatarasuna.
I was there at the time. The furnace went out of control and people started getting sick.
Everyone who left to look for help never came back, so eventually I decided to travel to Inazuma city to get an audience with the Shogun. While I was away Niwa ... your ancestor. He decided he'd sacrifice himself to stop the furnace, but was stopped by the very person who made that disaster happen.
He was killed, all just so his heart, obtained through murder, could be used to mess with me. That person wanted to see if a puppet could be corrupted by a heart full of curses.

[ he nods, ]
It was the moment that I knew I had to leave Inazuma for good.
no subject
Do you care for Inazuma despite all this?
no subject
[ a glance down at the vision, that he knows is not in his possession anymore. ]
As for still caring... Yes, of course I do.
no subject
She killed someone you cared for right in front of you. None in this nation would care. She certainly didn't.
And yet you're still here.

You've only told me about your past through destroying the Raiden Gokaden.
The Traveler mentioned you were tricked.
no subject
What I did, I did of my own free will. I was tricked and believed I'd been betrayed, so I took my revenge. But no one forced me to do any of it.
Or is that you trying to ask for more details?
no subject
It feels like you know far more about me, than I do about you.
no subject
I don't really know anything about you. But it's not like I mind learning more.
And the full story is not exactly a secret either.

As for my family... My mother died in childbirth, and my father worked himself into an early grave.
[ hmm. ]
Your turn. I want to know the story that led to your seeking revenge.
no subject
You must have noticed I look like her.
The Shogun.
no subject
You do.
no subject
Though the terms is not exactly correct. She created me.
no subject

[ he tilts his head, waiting for him to go on ]
no subject
You've surely heard of the Tatarasuna incident.
no subject
I have.

So that’s the truth of it…
[ all to mess with him. ]
Thank you for telling me, I know that can’t be easy to recall.
no subject
It's what they deserved.
no subject
He doesn’t know exactly how he should feel, but he knows how he does feel.
And so he steps forward to hug him, even knowing he’ll immediately run ]
