1. Before the battle
50 linesSo you are Kaname Tosen. She sometimes mentioned your name in the barracks.
Kakyo wrote her will prior to becoming a Soul Reaper.
Her last wish was to be buried at the base of a hill where you can see the stars. She said her friend Kaname Tosen would know where.
Yes. I have an idea of where that may be.
I heard that it was her husband that murdered her.
Her husband murdered a colleague in the same squad due to a trifling matter. And when his wife admonished him, he murdered her, too.
That is a fact.
Why...? Why did she have to die?
Well, this is only my assumption, but she had a heart of justice and peace stronger than anyone else.
But she loved peace too much to follow through with her sense of justice. If she had negated her feelings of love and peace... If only she had strived solely for justice...
She may have been the one to kill her husband. But she was not able to do so.
Was her wish wrong then?! I hear that the man who murdered her did not receive any kind of sentence!
Do you know of the Five Great Noble Clans? The man who murdered Kakyo belongs to one of them.
Huh?!
Though he is not of the main family. He is only a descendent of a branch family, so he holds no political power.
But even in that position, a noble is able to get away with murder.
But...! But that can't be!
Aren't Soul Reapers... Aren't the 13 Court Guard Squads meant to protect the peace of the Soul Society and the world of the living?!
Isn't Central 46 meant to embody the laws of the world?!
I understand your pain. I also think that it's unreasonable that the man who murdered her was not punished.
But that is how the Soul Society is. Central 46 is a lapdog of the Five Great Noble Clans, and especially of the Tsunayashiro family.
But I would like to ask you something as her friend.
If you or I have the power to exact revenge, should we be the ones to execute it?
Well...
This is a matter of her wishes and her pride. It is also about how we must face that.
Would she...? Would Kakyo want you to take revenge?
............
I don't think she would want us to take revenge. And if that was her wish, then I also...
I...!
I love watching the night sky, Kaname.
I see the world in it. There's so much darkness, and yet, in that darkness, so many, many shining points of light.
Clouds come along and try to smother the lights.
I wish I could gather all the clouds so they would never again obscure the light that shines from the stars.
............
I want to respect her wishes. I want to cherish that justice and peace she loved.
I see. You're right that she did love peace.
Though that is why she lost her life, I don't believe that was her weakness.
What she prayed for was not a weakness, but her strength. And for that to be shown...
You must be living proof of it.
I hope that you will carry her hopes with you, so that unnecessary bloodshed can be avoided in the future.
Thank you.
No, I should be the one to thank you. For she has someone who can fulfill her dying wish.
No, I really don't have the right to do that.
What right do you need to take over someone's wish? She always said this.
"My own wish is as insignificant as the stars in the skies. All I want to do is protect the things that simply exist and shine."
That was a small dream of hers.
If you don't mind, may I ask your name?
Oh, I'm Tokinada. Tokinada Tsunayashiro.
Tsunayashiro...
Wha...?!
