LIGHT

Warmth, love and kindness.
The Life Stream glimmers and glitters with joy, swirls of shimmering dust dancing around the ray of life.
It was time for new ones to test their wings.


One by one, new adventurers now arrive in the Tree. As one gain wings and rises to the second floor, another light brings in the next person. Soon, a steady stream of people from all kinds of worlds, times and realities come to join the others. Whether confused, angry, excited or scared, your arrival is welcomed with nothing but joy as the fireflies and glow worms descend to greet their new friends.

The Tree offers no explanation and no reason, but the truth is undeniable.

As you will soon realize, it isn't easy to be tiny.

"This story grows stranger and stranger."

Yoshitsugu still isn't affected at all by Tsuru's threats. He merely watches her with an interested air; the further they get into this conversation, the less sure he is of, well, anything that might explain what's going on.

Which for him is pretty rare indeed.

"I am most definitely not sick right now, it's true. The rest of what I said is true as well."

He sits back down then and pets the firefly again, which seems happy for the attention.

"Two Yoshitsugus and two Mitsunaris... let us be grateful only one Yoshitsugu is here. No world could handle two in the same place."

Even though she knows she shouldn't, Tsuruhime can't help but lower her guard a bit when he sits down. Even though he's totally suspicious, being affectionate to a creature like that... It's not the sort of thing Otani-san or Mitsunari-san would have done, so maybe he's not dangerous. But he's still a big fat liar!

"What? That sort of thing isn't possible," she says, narrowing her eyes. Looking around, it's obvious a lot of these people come from different places, but that's absolutely ridiculous.

"You're very pigheaded, you know. There's no point in lying anymore! You won't fool me."

[hakanai]

Pigheaded? That's a new one. Yoshitsugu has been called many, many things over the years, but that's the first time he's had that one thrown at him. It could be considered a kind of achievement!

"I'm almost certain I would fool you if I wanted to."

An insult spoken with the utmost politeness, with his gaze fixed on the content firefly.

"But right now I do not want to or need to."

"You could not! I have learned my lesson about trusting people like you!" She sounds 100% sure of herself, but really, it's just her temper. After all she's been through since leaving the shrine, Tsuruhime isn't completely unaware of how naive she is. If only Magoichi were here... She'd definitely know what to do! But reflecting back on how she came to realize anything was wrong before...

"I bet there's not a single person who would vouch for you!"
