Can you think of a better place to be in all of our era than by my side when that happens to her? Or Hideyoshi or Ieyasu or Masamune depending. [Or Mitsuhide's? He's not sure. That's more like the most dangerous place in the era, and Mitsuhide himself likely wouldn't wish it on others.] She ran into a burning building to rescue me, and didn't even know who I was. [He kind of thinks now she might not have if she HAD known...] Her time really truly had that much peace people just do that for each other. What would you call that if not luck?

[Foolish naivete. Beautifully bold, like setting fire to the sun or trying to save an ice cube from the cold. Super nonsense. Aesthetic for the sake of it. Poetry in action, not words. Maybe it's too gaudy for Mitsuhide? He didn't want the castle as bombastically bright as Nobuanga after all.]

Fear not. I'm well aware now I'm not in love with her, but the future itself. If you could only see it Akechi, you would be too.

[Nobunaga "transcended" hyper on the ship. It's terrifying.]
