[At the word "bravery" something stirs in Utsusemimaru's heart, the hope and determination he had felt from King, and that had abandoned him the moment he saw the ghost tonight.]
My... my emotions are proof of my bravery? [It's his turn to grab Arthur, taking hold of his shoulders to meet Arthur's eyes with his own wide, searching gaze. Please tell him.]
[In the brief moments of lucid thought through the centuries of his imprisonment, Utsusemimaru was only able to recall his lord's final words to him, a plea for him not to forget that kindness would be his undoing. And it very nearly had been: with his heart so easily exposed, Dogold had known exactly how to hurt and enrage him, and ultimately possess both his body and mind. Utsusemimaru had always thought his master's regrets were in letting Utsusemimaru's kindness endanger himself and the rest of his retainers... but could it be that he was worried for Utsusemimaru's own safety instead? That kindness did not make him unworthy, but was something his master feared would lead him into danger and suffering?
Is that why Utsusemimaru had been strong enough to fight alongside King and the others, even after reverting to his old ways?]
