[She's going to cry. She can feel the heat pricking at her eyes, and Makie won't hold back when it happens. She's not that proud. She has no right to be.]
But anger is... a wasted emotion. Kagehisa always held your right to kill him in high regard. He hurt you deeply. Who am I to be angry when you are merely avenging your family? That makes you... a filial child. I wish I'd had your strength. I do.
I made peace with the fact that Manji might kill him long ago. It was my choice to let Manji live. In a way, I... think it's better if you were the one who killed him instead. I hope you can live with it better than I can.
[Her words are gently said. But she delivers them in such a dead way, staring down at the floor, and the first tears slide down her face.]
