I am alright. I am sorry if I worried you; I simply didn't have much to add to that scene from before.

I suppose that I had not considered the mortality of others surrounding me, either. Though you and your twin brother are not wholly mortal, you do exist in this world of shadows and dust... as do I.

My name bothers me. I have wondered why it came to me; Retsu is an antiquated term for violence, after all. I've spent hours awake, wondering, what it could be. Everything I come upon is no better. Messatsu, Minagoroshi... And somewhere in this I feel these are only incorrect where Retsu is not because of an external factor; that I was "named" Retsu rather than it being a placeholder.

[He pauses.]

I'm sorry, my mind wanders on my own.
