[A sick feeling begins to grow in the pit of Ucchii's stomach. All of the regrets the vines had stirred up within him are hitting him again, the pain and the guilt and the sorrow that tormented him for four hundred years; and suddenly he's here, face to face with his lord in some miraculous turn of events, looking up at him with a mixture of fear and anguish, because even though he's always wanted the chance to apologize, he's not ready yet, not now.
Tears fill his eyes as he watches Moushinosuke remember, and he removes his hands from his lord, feeling unworthy to continue touching him.]
