Yo! Aah, this is unfortunate... Well, this and that came up, so it seems I can't answer the phone right now! I'm definitely not trying to ignore you, so please leave a message for me instead, ＯＫ?

On which part?

[He finally brings the mug to his lips to take a sip.]

[melodyoflogic]

My brother has always been my ideal. [Hizumi would know, of course. He knew more about Ayumu than Ayumu ever had to say.] Someone who could obtain anything he wanted.... stronger, smarter... higher than anyone else. Who wouldn't envy that?

....I always thought he had everything. All the happiness he could have wanted. But now....

[bondsofsuffering]

You've realized he didn't.

[How could he? All the things in the world couldn't make up for the horrific loneliness. Hizumi himself could identify with that perhaps a little too closely.]

[melodyoflogic]

[He nods, taking a drink of his tea. Hizumi would understand too, of course.] No matter how powerful he might get, he'll never have anyone else at his level. He's alone, In a way sister and I can't reach him.

[bondsofsuffering]

And unlike us, there's no longer someone for him to turn to.

[Because of his own hand, no less.]

[melodyoflogic]

Yeah. [He wondered.... if his brother and Yaiba had met properly, would they have gotten along, too.....?

It was a bizarre thought. And ultimately one that was useless.]

[bondsofsuffering]

What a twisted fate.

[It's nothing new to think about. Hizumi has cursed his own fate many times before, and he's sure the Blade Children must do the same. The fate that forces them to kill... the fate that forces them to be killed...

It's sickening. But it cannot be changed.

With those thoughts in mind, he takes another long drink.]
