I do not know what I expected of the city. It is vastly different from Edo just by sight alone. Kiyosatto-sama had told me of the capitol and his own thoughts of it. Once I may have marveled at everything... but it is as though all the color has drained from the world and I cannot find any way to make myself care. I only want to be where he was. To see what he saw... To touch the place he fell and maybe feel some part of him still there.
Maybe then I will feel alive again... or will find enough resolve to join him.
