16th step: Woolgathering [voice]

[favorthebold]

Do none of you miss your homelands? I ask sincerely. No one here ever mentions where he'd come from, no one speaks of his faith, his ways, his history... it's a wretched thing for a man in exile to never speak his country's name. Or is it that you have no countries at all? None of you

I'm a stray cat without a home, free to roam all alone.

Being rootless is not being free, dome.

No one speaks of it?

Have you observed differently? Barring the two of us, I don't know the first thing of the origins of any man here. Even when they speak, it's always of "worlds", never anything else. As though all the world was one and the same in the places they know.

I have not had much opportunity for discourse, but... No. There was a boy who used to speak of such things, but he is gone. Perhaps they are misguided into thinking that where they come from has no impact upon who they are.

...Not talking about it doesn't mean that no one misses their homes. Why make yourself more homesick than necessary?

A man in exile must keep his memories fresh.

Soul Society is not a country. It is a dimension. As for missing it, I do, but I am fortunate enough to have several people coming from it. And I am quite sure that none of the things or customs that I'd mention would be known to anyone who is not already a resident.

Also, as a military commander, I have to be careful about what kind of information I spread. I am open to questions, but there haven't been any.

Of all people, you do not surprise me, doma. You are not human, after all.

Does it mean I am not allowed to miss the place I come from, Saul-san ?
