Hai...ya! Yaaargh!
Hello, Hana.
Phew...
Oh, Lord Takumi!
Up early and training already? The sun has barely peeked over the horizon.
Yep!
You haven't changed at all. It seems like you're out training every morning, even if it's freezing!
Early morning workouts clear my mind! And I feel a special attachment to my sword if I wake and train with it first thing.
Hrm. Some sort of connection?
Yes, it starts to feel like more than just a weapon to me... It becomes a part of my body, like an arm or a leg... It feels natural to wield it.
I'm afraid I don't quite get what you're saying...
I apologize. It's difficult to explain—you really just have to experience it.
Oh, I have an idea! What if we train together? That way I can show you. You trained with me a lot back in the old days. It'd be just like that!
Uh... Well, that was...
It was almost every morning, too. I remember! But then one day you suddenly stopped coming, and we've never trained after that. It actually made me kind of sad...
...
Lord Takumi? Why do you have that look on your face...?
No reason. Unfortunately times have changed—I don't have time for idle conversation. I have to go. *leaves*
Lord Takumi! ...He's gone. I wonder if there is some reason he stopped training with me...
