[The words are hissed, as if he is in pain.]

I require a surgeon.

... that bad, huh.

Go to the hospital.

You saw it, and thus know.

... you know, I almost feel compelled to say sorry - for breaking my word.

But you remember what I told you.

[to_turn_away]

I remember, girl.

But be sure that you do.

[revengeisalie]

I do.

But I've been thinking about what would be if I didn't. I've been contemplating that. Maybe it'll be the better choice.

Regardless of what happens, remember this: if I chose to not kill you, that doesn't mean what you did is ever going to be okay. It's not. All it'll mean is that enough time has passed since the incident that I, the surviving victim, am able to let it go.

I have made choices that were foolish and careless, and had led the Itto-ryu to the bakufu's doorstep.

I made one such choice that caused you harm. This is something that I understand.

But there is nothing to do now except to fulfill my ambitions, and to see them to their end. I know you will be watching. You had vowed it.

To stop now would be to have done it all in vain . . . and I will not have my ambitions thwarted.

I know.

Good.

... now go to the hospital.

Hnn.
