I'm not sure if I'd be able to explain here... [ hmmm. ] Or if he'd want me to. I wouldn't want to upset him.

[ frets gently ]

Ah, don't worry, I've been very careful! He was worried about hurting me, I think, but he's made a fun opponent!

[cumulative]

But he worries about me too much to tell me...

Please?

[naginota]

...He is the type to hold back like that, isn't he.

[ sighs. ]

Alright. I'll write to you once I get back and let you know what I can. I don't think the veil will let me say it here.

[cumulative]

A-all right. Thank you, Iwatooshi.

[...]

Um, I don't know whether all of you coordinated sending your letters or not, but if you didn't, then... you were the only one who actually told me what was coming, instead of only... telling me things would become harder, but not saying why. So I wanted to say thank you for that, as well.

[naginota]

Of course.

[ to both, honestly. ]

...We tried to ensure the information would reach as many of you as possible, yes. It's likely that they were just trying to be careful, but I thought you deserved to know just as much as the others. It still affects you.

It does leave a heavy burden on your shoulders, though.

[cumulative]

It was nearly too heavy. I still don't... know what's going to happen, in the end, so I can't say whether I'll join you a little earlier or not, but-

If I don't, then I want you to know that it wasn't because I didn't want to see you and everyone else. I- I do. Very much.

[naginota]

[ his expression softens. ]

I know... It's unfair to all of you. [ but life often is. ] But I understand. I miss you, too - we all do - but whatever happens, I'll support you until the end. I can promise you that.
