Heh, thanks, Vash. I know I've said it before, but you really are a great guy. Don't ever let anyone try to convince you otherwise.
[Because only a true friend would listen to the rambling about a tragedy that happened a thousand years ago. Most people would probably say he should've gotten over it by now, but the fact is the wound is still as fresh as if it occurred in recent memory.]
...yeah. [That's all he can manage, nodding before he downs the rest of his drink and pouring more. Liquid courage, that.] She was my first personal shinki, who came to me asking for a name so that she would be taken care of and protected. She taught me about human morality, good and bad, how to help people instead of hurt them, and to do things for others without asking anything in return.
She was something between an older sister and a mother, I think. She was... special. So kind and compassionate. I-- I loved her with all my heart. In way I never had with my sister or father.
