It's very warm. Perhaps because it's so lively that there's rarely a moment of rest, but...! I always longed to have more separation in the Citadel so that I may have more moments of piece, but now that I have it, I do miss it a bit. It's a relief to be able to have peace when I want it, but it's also strange to not hear Tsurumaru-san trying to surprise people at all hours of the day, to welcome swords back from the field and shoo them on to get repairs from Haru-dono, or for the tantous to stop by kitchen looking to steal a snack.
