[ the fact that there will never be peace, as long as there is fighting and sorrow, is something that tsurumaru is too familiar with, with tragedy and death unfolding before his eyes more times than anyone deserves to be put through. but the fact that they have a choice here to be something other than swords is true — and tsurumaru finds that it's something he's been thoroughly enjoying, because while he dislikes mankind, he hates being a sword even more.
but — haru this, haru that. hearing his name repeated fills him with some kind of rage, and he suddenly turns on kousetsu, eyes narrowed. ]
I don't care about what Haru cares or doesn't care about. The rest of you act as if he's some god — fawning over him, looking after him, getting him gifts and wanting his attention all the time. Has it never occurred to any of you, to ask why you're here in the first place? He tells us that we're here — or there, back at the Citadel, I guess — to fight against enemies that want to change history, or something like that, but who said so? Where's his official certificate, or whatever?
[ tsurumaru doesn't go so far as to display his beliefs in public — he'll ask haru for money, pine for red stickers, and endlessly surprise him, but when it comes down to things, he doesn't trust haru. and he knows that haru knows, but his distrust is deep-set and centuries old, and he doubts that it can be done away with, no matter how hard haru tries. ]
If he wanted to, he could sell all of us. Do you know how much money we'd all bring in? What if he's just been tricking us, all along? Humans are inherently cruel, Kousetsu, and I'm sure that Haru is no different.
