Mundane-san, I admire your dedication to scholarship in this instance, but truly, it's not necessary. I've done my part - the future is in their hands, now.

You gave us everything.

[It didn't matter, in that sense, that his teacher did not entirely approve. It was something Takasugi needed to do.]

[underthepines]

And I wish I could have given more.

[alastinglight]

[He does, as well.]

...It's useless regret now. The only thing left to do is destroy the ones responsible for this.

[underthepines]

[He sighs a little]

Will there be anything left standing after you're done, though?

[alastinglight]

Maybe. Maybe not.

[underthepines]

I suppose the best I can do is hope for you, now.

[alastinglight]

...I'll be fine, Sensei.

[Or he'll end up dead in a ditch. Either way.]

[underthepines]

[sigh. He's been avoiding mentioning this at all, but]

You don't look it.

[alastinglight]

[A shrug, dismissive.]

I'd rather not wax poetry about looks and deception.
