sometimes you have to kill
sometimes fighting isnt enough

and I believe there's always a way to work around that I don't feel that I have the right to decide who lives or dies I believe that people should be punished for what they've done death is just a release from that punishment

punishing people who hurt you is indulgent
all i care is making sure they cant do it again

and I think killing them is indulgent there are much worse things than death death means they don't have to deal with the consequences of what they've done

i dont care if they deal with the consequences
i care about staying alive

[ ...What kind of world is this person from if that's their chief concern? ]

coming here must be really hard for you then

dont pity me
we are all dead

you mentioned music

it's not pity. it's concern

[ But she knows when to ease off the gas, so-- ]

that's right I'm a musician I mostly sing, but I haven't met an instrument I haven't been able to figure out what about you? what do you like to do?

i sing sometimes
not for anyone else
when i have wood or metal i make figures

if you ever feel like singing for or with someone let me know I'd love to hear you really? that's so cool!! but how do you make them out of metal?

you can bend it
or cut it
join pieces together

oh you're right~ I think I've seen jewelry made like that but making them into figures sounds like something else do you mean things like animals?

animals
plants
whatever

they arent good

I'm sure they're great! I definitely can't do anything like that, so I'm impressed! what are your favorite things to make? wood or metal, doesn't matter

there are pigs in the wilds
with tusks
we call them javelina

oh! we have something like that where I'm from too the ones in Japan don't have tusk but in other places they do you've seen one? or just pictures?

ive seen lots of them
ive eaten them

I bet it's probably pretty good so are you a hunter then? or just outdoorsy in general?

[ how do you tell someone you're an exile? she sits with it. anger rises in her chest. ]

you ask too many questions
i am supposed to ask some too
is japan the name of the country you come from?

whoops sorry!! 😅 yes Japan is the country I'm from Tokyo and Shizuoka specifically

are those clans in japan

[ ...That's an interesting question. Hm. ]

they're cities clans in Japan are families like the Minamoto or Fujiwara

do families usually stay in cities there

they can. it's a little complicated without going into hundreds of years of history, basically many clans had various territories in Japan that fell under their jurisdiction there was an event that happened that shook that up and put Japan on a different course of history, and a lot of those families either lost power or just disappeared altogether we study this in school where I'm from since it's an important part of history some are still around but depending have moved or expanded their area of influence but it doesn't directly affect most people since it's all mostly under the surface or so I've heard

so you dont know what clan you are a part of?
