<span class="mu-b">Tomoe... Are you sure you must leave again?</span>
<span class="mu-b">I understand it is a command from the Kami, but... I have this feeling that something terrible is going to happen.</span>
<span class="mu-b">The wind blows a cold omen and the trees whisper of portents. Even the sun refuses to shine through the clouds on this morning.</span>
The lover of Ashina knits his brows in worry as you load the saddlebags onto your steed. Beside him, a little person holds his hand. A mask makes their expression unreadable, but their fidgeting betrays the confusion and fright in their small heart.
<span class="mu-b">If... you should never again come back to us... what then should we do?</span>
>Don't talk so dour, it doesn't suit your smile. You should know that all of our people come home eventually. Simply wait for my return, and return I shall.>Should I never again see your face, and you mine, then see me in our little one. Raise, teach, and love enough for us both. Nothing would please me more.>A life is a terrible thing to waste. If mine should end before yours then you must continue on. Live each day as a lifetime, and when we meet again you can tell me all about it.>Write-in
