[Hiza did a good job, it's true. But...ugh. This is a tougher question.]

I don't know if they're people, exactly, but yeah. I think it was something waiting in this place that's trying to talk to us. We're here now, and we were meant to hear that. We just don't know why.

[...] If another battle has to occur, will you be ready for that? The fight might be a little different than what you're used to.

[leggymaru]

[Oh boy! At this last bit, Hizamaru perks up, standing formal with his hand on his sword.] Yes! [If he doesn't sound certain about anything else except for the love for his brother, he sounds 100% certain of this.]

I was made to protect my master and my friends in any battle. I'll try my best so I don't fail. My master and elder brother's honor depends on it. Whatever decides to come, I'll be ready.

I won't let them or you down.

[An honor-bound sword. He's not surprised, but it's a little disheartening at the same time. He has suspicions about how this might end, and while he gets that swords are pretty sturdy when it comes to their emotions, loyalty is something that's tricky in these situations.]

I know you won't. You'll do fine. [So he'll just shove all of his own baggage elsewhere to pick apart later.] Whenever the time comes...let's talk before you head into battle. It'll be easier that way.

[Knowing other people's plans usually is.]

[leggymaru]

[It's fine. He'll learn the hard way. Maybe his spirit will be broken... (relieved)]

Alright. I'll find you before deploying for battle, Junpei-san. I hope we get a chance to fight. There's nothing more thrilling than being on the battlefield and fighting for your master and your friends.

[crashout]

[Please be nice to him wtf.]

I'll, uh, take your word for that. [Wow.] I've never been on a battlefield. [...] But it's always good to have something to fight for. Even if you don't always understand why.

Did seeing the room yourself help at all?

[leggymaru]

[Again, Hizamaru glances around the studio, and then he nods.]

Yes. I understand a little better. Thank you for taking the time to show me.

[crashout]

Yeah, sure. [Another glance himself.] ...if you have other questions, you can come find me. I'll see what I can do.

[leggymaru]

I'll remember.

[Junpei gets a very formal, polite bow--at the waist with a hand across his chest.]

Thank you again, Junpei-san. I'm going to go check on elder brother to make sure he isn't in any trouble.

[crashout]

That's a good idea. [Save the genjis.] Be careful getting back. I'm...gonna stay here for a little longer and check on some things.

[leggymaru]

Will you be okay here by yourself? I will stay with you if you want, Junpei-san. In case anything happens.

[crashout]

I think your brother probably will worry about you if he doesn't see you soon, won't he? I'll be okay. [He's used to working alone anyway.]

[leggymaru]

Okay... I will see you later, Junpei-san. Please be careful.

[The bow is only at the shoulders, but a departing one, and then he turns to go ahead and leave TO MAKE SURE HIGEKIRI ISN'T CAUSING CHAOS.]
