life is cruel

Even Usagi was taken aback by his brother's unexpected firm tone, eyes widening slightly as he looked down at him. We cannot risk our lives. That part certainly had its merit -recklessly engaging in a fiery game of cat-and-mouse with the murderer would be nothing short of foolish. However, he didn't see even Hattori giving up on this and heading back to Auster without so much as a brief investigation - just to see if anything could lead them to an answer. It was a mystery in its most tragic form, that likely Sayuri and several others had to give up their lives for its sake. His chartreuse gaze, fiery yet detached compared to his brother's outward emotional state, hardened. So did his voice, standing his own ground as he shifted the sword that lay across his back.

"I will risk my own, for the both of us," He said, voice low as he glanced up to scan their surroundings. "I am a soldier at heart. I cannot stand by without at least sweeping the area. for their sake." Would his words seem empty? Maybe. Truthfully, the killer could've been far away at this point, but there was nothing to be lost by just attempting to search. He could not stand idly, or simply crumple and weep, while there was a chance to gain some closure.
