Many <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">years later</span></span> in Centralia's highest military command base, you come across two other generals, examining their knives.
<span class="mu-r">”Look here, the handle is made of whale bone- with gold engraving.”</span>
“Woah! I thought the whales went extinct in the wild from ocean acidification!”
<span class="mu-r">”They did- but in captivity- some contraband can slip through. All depends on who you know- Hey, General Naonae! Oh- want a smoke?”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”No thanks. I prefer to control my habits, as opposed to the other way 'round.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”We were just talking about our knives.”</span>
“Mine's handle is made of real leather. It looks pretty nice, doesn't it?”
<span class="mu-r">”Mhmm- now hold on, I think we should be <span class="mu-i">thanking</span> you, General Naonae. Wasn't it your suggestion to congress to allow such traditional and obsolete weapons to be worn ornamentally? And here you are, wearing two... and yet despite that... I mean, come on.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Hmm?”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Look at them! Where is the style- don't take this the wrong way, General, but where is your sense of fashion? Where is the glamour!? What are they made of?!”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Carbon steel.”</span>
“Is that... black and white spray paint?!”
<span class="mu-r">”Haha- I mean, isn't it ironic that the man who suggested it is shown up by his colleagues?! I mean no offense, General Naonae, but was that really your intention? Or is it to show some kind of humility- was that your intent for them?”</span>
You smile.
<span class="mu-b">”No, General Garastra. They are intended to be used.”</span>
