Overcoming self-doubt
I wasn’t sure I could do that. I am the strongest onmyoujitsu among the Sumeragi, and this says enough about my powers if you know of such matters, and yet I was not sure I could do what I had to do. I spent years doing things I knew, perfecting my control… building walls around myself. And in order to reach Kamui, I had to tear them all down.
Our clan’s magic is based on spirit, and as a child I never doubted particularly that my spirit was strong enough to do what I had to do. I simply tried to help as many people as I could, and that was my strength.
Nine years ago my strength of spirit was destroyed. I tried to build another one from skill and control, and yet when I saw Kamui lying there, as I felt his wounds as my own, I knew that would not be enough.
I will always be grateful to Kamui for that day, if not for everything else, because for him I managed to do what I could not do for myself. To build a new, true strength of spirit based on honesty and acceptance.
