I wonder, how much does your duty define you? For me, it is a much a part of me as my limbs, my lungs, my very blood. It is coiled tight inside me, and now... now it is choking my very heart. My duty drives me to two ends, equally.
But in this matter, equality is impossible.
I fear I may be torn in two by the choice I must make, but being torn would automatically count as a failure. A Kuzuryu does not fail, I was taught. A Kuzuryu perseveres and succeeds, for the sake of their master. My master...
I've rambled, and I'll need to leave soon if I want to catch a ride to the next town.
