People talked to me through the box, so it's gotta work.

... you don't wanna go home?

. . . Yeah. I don't wanna go home. But I also want to because I have stuff to do.

What about him?

Oh! Are you a student at a sword school?

He's a whipped dog.

Yes . . .

... hah?

Cool! What sword school is it?

He's stuck in the past and on Bushido. Shame, form, bearing . . . that's not what the sword's supposed to be about. It's about victory.

The Itto-ryu.

Eh? But what about, you know, honor and that? My dad says that 'it's not just about who's stronger, that's a shallow way of looking at it'.

I never heard of that one!

Not about being stronger, but about what works. Honor . . . I don't have that.

. . . You wouldn't.

But you gotta have honor!

Why wouldn't I?

My grandfather talks about that too much.

. . . You just wouldn't.

So does my dad! 'Cause it's important!

But whyyy?

Reply

to_turn_away July 12 2009, 18:12:06 UTC
It's too important, if you ask me.

Because your dad probably wouldn't tell you about it.

Huh? Why?

You mean because you got no honor?
