So much bloodshed. The clown named Kefka and now Vash-san. It's forbidden to get involved in private fights, but things like this make me wonder. How far should I follow the Code here? Is it considered protecting the people to take arms as a captain, or is it merely foolish of me to assume they even need protecting? Do I even have the strength to help?

The people here fight with fire and magic, things I can't comprehend. They heal with a touch and kill despite the impermanency of death. I fill my days with training and frivolous pursuits, music and art, helping at the Center, but my heart is heavy. We were men charged with war, with keeping the peace and killing our enemies. These enemies are foreign, worse than the rebels, worse than the foreign evil that came upon our shores and forced us into a treaty at the threat of annihilation.

I have no idea how to fight anymore.

It seems there's quite the commotion going on. Is everyone alright? And has anyone seen Sasarai-san?

Anyway, the Welcome Center is open to help New Feathers, the new arrivals, with adjusting to life here in Luceti. Please feel free to stop by anytime, or call upon myself, Sasarai-san, Martel-san, or anyone else who works at the Center. We can provide lodging and warm food and drink to help you weather the winter. Of course, that goes to anyone! Even those who have been here awhile. It's always nice to see friendly faces, hm?

Hijiri-kun? I'll be by later on to finally take you up on the music lessons, if that is alright with you? I'm afraid I was quite busy with the New Years and all.

Oh, so that's what you sound like normally. [brb, somewhat giggling now]
I've been well. The cold is difficult to ride out, but the buildings here keep the heat so much better than home.

I hope it sounds better than before.

The house was warmer for me, but I guess I can't complain here.

Well, it's much less goaty now. That's a good thing, yes?

Oh? What is your house like?

[And embarrassed cough. Yeah, that.]

It's a little cramped, but it's home.

It can't be as cramped as where I used to live. Try sharing a room with twenty other people.

You lived with that many people?

Well, there were more, but that was how many were in one room. But that was before I gained rank. Now I have my own room.

Oh right.

I was wondering, what did you do back home? [Concerning Japanese history and all.]

I lived at a temple and taught swordsmanship. [You're not getting his real job out of him that easy, Kouichi. Sorry, he's decided he wants to change the future, so he needs info from people and you're a prime target.]

Kendo, or something else?

Yes, that exactly.

Oh... Okay. [Could it be just the same name then?]

Do you practice?

Not really.

What is it that you do then? A student?

Yeah. I'm just a regular kid.

I wouldn't say that. Everyone has something special about them.

[Like turning into a digimon? Yeah, he was special all right.]

Sometimes being ordinary is less stressful.

[He pauses because ouch, this is so true - he wishes he were a normal person.]
Yes, that's very true.

[He notices the pause.]

Is something wrong?

Hm? No, nothing at all.

If you say so.

Oh, come now. You're going to end up worrying as much as Kamui-kun.

I will not!

... Who's that?

He's the young man who runs the clinic. Have you never met him?
