Don't worry about it. HAHA, I caught a cold so I'm moving at the speed of smell.

Hisahide sipped his tea just as calmly as Gai had when he listened to his words. He was starting to feel just a little more nostalgic, but he was fairly certain that he was not as naive as this man -- nor was he as naive as Yukimura. His shoulders gave a small shrug; he could only look back at those years as a passive observer, but feel nothing as to what those memories held.

"You can't live in your delusions forever." He felt that he would be told that he was the one living in delusions, but it seemed like it was important to say all the same. "The world doesn't work always in the way that you believe, and it is only your truths that allow you to see things this way. My truth, and you may disregard it, is that not everyone has something to contribute. Only a few have the means to change anything."

His gaze shifted to look toward the skull once more, amused, before returning to look to Gai. "Life is hard. All life is difficult. Mine has been no difficult than anyone else's. I simply have chosen to live as a ghost rather than continue to live among the masses that I care very little for. There is no point to engage in another's life, because eventually, they will die. Nothing will be changed, and the bonds of this world will turn to dust."
