"Why... here?"

Another sigh. This was a question far more complicated than she was ready to answer. She doesn't lie, though.
"Because this is all part of the dream of the Fortune of Heroes. It's starting to come apart, so I guess that means it's getting easier for you to interact with everyone else. But it won't last."

"No..." the whisper comes again. For a brief moment Hisui could swear she feels something looking at her from over her right shoulder.
"... are... here... ?"

Now she is very confused. She has no clue what Sakura is asking. And the strange sensation of being watched isn't helping. So she pauses, focuses. Eyes closed, her mind finding the emptiness that came with the focus of the duel. She hopes, as she finds that moment in the Void, she can gain some clarity on what the Shosuro is trying to ask.

The temperature seems to drop rapidly just behind Hisui as she begins to focus on the Void and what the woman she once knew was trying to say. More noises from a time long ago begin to fill her ears, conversations that are clearly between Sakura and others but the cacophony creates only a garbled incomprehensible mess.
...but in the moment, something pushes through. Something here and now. It's so soft she can barely hear it, and the tone is most assuredly otherworldly.
"Why are you here?"

Hisui breathes out. It was definitely not the most comforting version of Sakura's voice she could imagine, but it wasn't so bad. She would need to thank a Crane for teaching her the basics of iaijutsu. Otherwise, she suspects she'd still be completely lost. Of course, as she tries to tune out all of the other noises and conversation bits, she ponders the answer she has to give.
"Because I heard things come from here, and I went to look." She pauses. "When I realized what the sounds were, what I was hearing, I knew I wanted to be here. If only for a little while."

"Because you were my friend." She smiles. That stupid, honest smile Sakura would remember. "And I miss you."

"...you... Chiaki...Aiko..."
The whisper grew louder and for a brief moment Hisui might notice something briefly appear then vanish out of the corner of her left eye.

"Chiaki-chan is...far away from here. And I don't know where Aiko-chan is right now."
She turns in that direction, but she feels no urge to hurry. She barely caught sight of it, and by the time she did, it had begun to vanish already. It was unlikely she'd see anything, but she didn't think it could hurt to look. She didn't think she was in any danger, and so her hands were relaxed and far from her blades.
