[ . . . higekiri wonders if he should be the one to admit that he doesn't know if he's quite as kind, or careful, or diligent as hizamaru thinks he has the potential to be. he think about the story of yoritomo and yoshitsune - was it not yoshitsune, the younger brother, who was the prodigy? the genius? the talent, the one who was so very loved and charismatic compared to his elder brother - who grew so distrustful that he asked for his younger brother to fall before him?
when higekiri looks at hizamaru, sometimes he hopes that even he, tomokiri, will never become quite so ruthless as that particular master of his.]
... mm, I wonder if I'd be able to do all that, without you present. [despite his request for hizamaru, he will admit that he's less sure of himself] At the very least... I won't do anything that would compromise the mission.
[lightly, easily - it's hard for him to make promises when just this past weekend, he felt so many emotions that were so very foreign to him, and let them rule his expression more than he liked. still, he lets his fingers card through hizamaru's hair, as if to try to soothe him]
... during my first expedition with um... Junpei, we heard of 'H' and the way that he was growing distressed with the way things were going. To begin, there were 33. Four weeks later, there were 12. 21 people died in four weeks then - and yet now it appears as though we are two weeks in, and we have lost six. That message ended when the narrator says they would speak with 'C'...
Yesterday, I believe we heard something similar - or a story close to that time... The person laid with H, who was still plagued by the memory of his brother, and in the morning, he told H to bring a weapon. They confronted C... in a room - and cornered him. They asked if he had something... and then suggested that he is 'one of the 13.'
The final piece was after the conversation... H was angry at the narrator, worried that C was a demon... The narrator found something in C's profile and said that they got information from him. There are demons... and another type of creature that we could not hear - but they both act like 'hydra'. If you cut off one head, another will take its place. H asked if the narrator believed him... and the narrator said they would ask someone whose name begins with A - but H sounded upset that the narrator still spoke to A... hurt by it.
[ . . . he hums softly, closing his eyes for a moment before opening them again, and pressing a kiss to hizamaru's cheek]
Will you remember for me, brother? I wonder... if there are people, and creatures we must still find.
