CITY!!! WHAT IS THIS FASCINATION WITH HIM AND I?!?

Oh Elizabeth, I may be going crazy...

There is an easy solution to your problem.

Committing seppuku would only bring me back to this City.

[oneeyedbeast]

But it would silence you and your protests for a day. If you are displeased, then pick up your sword and fight. It's useless to argue against deaf ears.

But I seem to have forgotten you've lost your will entirely, haven't you?

[fruits_ponchi]

It's quit tempting however- I see no point in sentencing myself to an eternity here.

...'Lost my will?' What are you referring to, Takasugi?

[oneeyedbeast]

Would you rather die at the hand of a deity or at the edge of my sword. It's your choice, but you and I can't co-exist in the same world. Your ideals have drifted from what they used to be.

Don't you want to see them all suffer, 'Zura ?

Though we have never seen eye to eye, haven't we always shared the desire to expel the Amanto from Edo? We may no longer be in Edo, yet my desire is still ever the same -- I wish to put an end to these false Amanto 'deities.'

Katsura...

I didn't know you still had some will in you. You've always been rather disagreeable to all my plans. Are you implying you'll join my side once again...?

I do not see the benefit in senseless destruction, however in our current situation perhaps an...agreement could be met.

I've never seen you this compliant. What did you have in mind ?

No one here has the will to rise up against the deities, and with their power it would be foolish for me to tackle them alone.

...I've already attempted attack on their headquarters, yet nothing came of it. There must be a more crucial point of the City to target.

Possibly. I see the city has driven you with the same madness. I will set aside my grudge for the sake of a greater cause, but I still haven't forgiven you for abandoning Shoyou-sensei's ambition.

[fruits_ponchi]

...What are you saying, Takasugi? I have abandoned nothing but my dear Elizabeth.

Everything you ever fought for... You'd forgotten it. All your rage and anger had been dampened by defeat. The warrior that fought along aside the Shiroyasha and I has become nothing but a coward who runs away from battle.
