he can't help it. listening to Buzen, realizing what exactly 'protecting history' means... he thinks he understands a little more now. why Buzen would never call his own actions good -- even if they were committed for the sake of the many.
he thinks back on the man clad in the green kimono. 'that was someone buzen liked and wanted to save, but could not'. his heart feels heavy. as much as he'd like to offer absolution -- he knows he can't. it would be an insult to that man, and more importantly, to Buzen -- who understands the gravity of every action he takes.]
...Thank you for telling me. I'm glad I learned something new about you.
[he slides his hand around Buzen's wrist, pulling it up so that his hand is flat against his heart. so that the steady beat of Itsuki's heart can comfort him, even in this small way,]
...And I still feel the same way. You make me feel safe, and you're the only one who can save me. And if you can save me, then you can save others too. ...I'll always believe that.
[for every time Buzen's not sure, Itsuki can believe in his stead. that buzen is the sword so fast that it's never been seen, and the sword who saved him, and so many others]
