[ . . . hmmm. higekiri's expression softens at that. the truth is that he doesn't know if he'd feel the same - there is a sadness whenever a human passes, certainly, but could he feel as strongly as his brother...? is higekir's heart open for that - and if it is, would he want to accept it, knowing the pain that comes in hand?]

[softly, and fondly]

Even knowing how painful the loss could be... will you still reach out to the people here?
