"It is. We just simply have to find the time," she answers. "And then we can reenact her favorite of my songs."

"Hmmmm?" she smiles "Which one would that be, if it is not too personal to ask?"

"A song about two samurai equally matched, dying at each other's hands in a duel to the death," she answers. "It was used as the opening for some TV show, I think. But they decided on a rendition by a younger singer."
"I lent her the demo copy I still had, and she's quite fond of the song."

"She mentioned the desire to me, for her to die by your hand" she nods "You are good for her, that you could accept that as her desire"

"As she accepts my desire for her to live by my side." She nods. "Should the need arise, I will take her life. And shortly after, I fall on her wakizashi."
"Or perhaps we will die in bed, surrounded by grandchildren and holding each other's hand. Who but the Fortunes can say?"

"Intend? I do not know. I fear it a little, that I am doomed to Gaki-do for my blessing"

"It's only natural to fear death. As for your blessing..." She shrugs. "I know little of how Emma-O judges, but as for the Lords, it is your conduct in life that prepares you for their judgment. Where they send you, should your soul fall into their court, will be based on your character, your actions. Perhaps your sister is in Gaki-do, but you need not be."
"Which is why I must stress again the importance of finding Uetani, rather than drowning in the shadow of Kasumi."

"What if there is no Uetani?" she asks "What if she has already been devoured, to sate the endless hunger?"
She rises out of the water a little, her ribs clearly visible, her body looking almost malnourished
"The 'blessing' consumes everything else. Why should it not eat my name"
