Once you've chosen this path, you may attempt to avoid it. It will always pull you in. [It's a spiral. You try to leave it, the people who you have wronged or just want to prove themselves will return you to the path. You may as well choose to control what you can.]

Araya's death sound well-earned. [For all that he was one of Kagehisa's men, she had no care for him. She wasn't close to any of them, really; had some respect for Magatsu, perhaps.] But that is the problem, isn't it? The question I asked so long ago... in getting your revenge, you in turn become a rightful target for others. It is a very bloody path, Rin. [This might sound like a lecture from someone else. Makie just sounds sad. It's a shitty place to be trapped.]

Will this boy seek your death?
