Aruji is the one and the same. He gave us these bodies and hearts, sends us upon our missions to protect history, and is the one who has been taken from our Citadel.
And to me, he is...
[ . . . he wonders how to articulate this. what this sage could mean, to an ancient sword?]
[ there's a pause as he tries to wrap his head around that idea. ]
... As more than a sword, or in general? [ it's-- maybe the same, it's a complicated idea cloud isn't sure he gets*, needing a reason to exist like that
Do not misunderstand... there is enough in my life that I consider an honor to behold. I am pleased that even in these years, I get to meet people like you and others here. I hold all of you dear. I have promised my crane my future, and to be with him for as many days as we are given - it sounds like more than enough reason to live.
[ . . . ]
But it remains that without my master, I would not have this opportunity. Neither would any other sword you've met, or may ever meet.

[enough people have told mikazuki that living forever sounds like hell.
he can't always disagree.]

... Never really thought about immortality like that. It's not... really a thing back home.
[ that he knows off, yet, i hate ff7, ]

but mikazuki smiles faintly at that]

... He's the one who gave you this life in the first place. It makes sense that you'd feel like that about him.
[ he is sort of like their dad... birthed them ... swirthed them... cloud's frowning but not because i said swirthed ]
Nightman being powerful enough to take someone like that isn't great, either.
no subject
but mikazuki will be happy to take on the other line of conversation, thoughtful]
... indeed. He is a sage who can grant objects these forms - and send us on missions through time.
The Nightman must have some hold, to be able to keep him captive.

We'll get him out.
