[ . . . . ]

I understand what it means to fight for your life when you're an innocent.

I just hope you won't resort to the same underhanded techniques as Ogata.

[menially]

[He shakes his head.]

I don't think I would be much of a swordsman if I said otherwise. People will do all sorts of things when they're desperate. But there's a difference between a desparate act and a manipulative one.

[coastal]

.... then I'll accept whatever happens.

[whoever leaves, because at that point, it's just two innocent people fighting for their lives. and she can't fault either, as long as no one acts unfairly.]

You deserve a chance to live as much as anyone else.

[menially]

I don't plan on dying.

[A firm, if not tired response as he stirs the spoon in the bowl.]

I'm already working on borrowed time for more than myself here. Fighting with everything I have is the only option I can give.

I need to be here to rip this place apart at the seams.

[coastal]

[ . . . . she's not the type of person who would provide the worst case scenario, who would dissuade someone from clinging to life from all that they have.

so she doesn't.]

Very well, then. Eat when you have the appetite and keep up your strength.

[menially]

Of course.

[It's rude to eat and speak at the same time, so he'll ask his question first, then bring the spoon to his mouth while she answers.]

What do you plan on doing, so far as finding Hikage or Yu's killer? Do you think they're two separate people?

[coastal]

I do.

[she doesn't mind talking about it, at least]

I think they were separate people - but that doesn't explain to me how they could know not to kill at the same time.

[menially]

[i'm assuming this stew isnt going to kill Guy immediately or the retcon might be impossible]

What do you mean, at the same time? Do you have a suspicion they were both involved this week?
