[private to self || unhackable]
To have been made a fool like that-my history and my ambitions and thrusts erased, and to have made me a part of the very system I swore to turn away from!
And not only a part of the system, but adopted into the school of swordsmanship that I destroyed by my grandfather’s revenge!
What foolishness!
Grandfathers should never pass their ambitions on to their sons and grandsons . . . and yet, once they are, they are to be followed with abandon.
That curse showed me a life I would have lived had I not followed in his footsteps. A life of peace, of complacency, of contentment . . . an arranged marriage, as has been negotiated between me already in this lifetime that I know now . . . but one to the daughter of Asano Takayoshi? She watched me as I killed her father and left her mother to die horribly in more ways than one.
To have all of that erased . . .
No.
I have done her enough harm, and my road is elsewhere-one that I cannot, and will not undo.
Without my Itto-ryu, the Bakufu will remain in its usual stead of corruption. It is my ambition, as Anotsu Kagehisa, to destroy Bushido and to strike ablaze my revolution onto the shogunate.
This is the path that I, as the leader of the Itto-ryu, have chosen, and I will see it through. The Bakufu will fall to my hand, none other.
Asano Kagehisa . . . a mockery.
