I'm Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

(He's being honest! He really is! But to give Yuri a little clue... he'll tap his sword which is, according to his profile, also called Tsurumaru Kuninaga.)

[ looks at the sword. looks at tsuru. ]

Like.

You and the sword are the same thing?

Of course.

(Isn't it obvious????)

[ ???????????????????? NO ]

How does that even work?

When an object reaches its 100th birthday, it becomes alive and aware. It obtains a soul and becomes a "tsukumogami," the kami of a tool.

[ wtf. ]

Entelexeia make more sense than that. Literally anything? Like... a building over 100 years old has a soul?

Usually, houses are full of spirits instead.

[ tsURU.

yuri just makes an aborted hand gesture like. if anyone was around this would be a "do you see the shit i deal with" kind of motion, but luckily(?) for both of them

he's interrupted before he can speak (35:23 - 38:20). tsuru can hear as much or as little as you wish him to. ]

(The catch here is if he wants to ask or talk about what he saw, it opens himself up for more questions and honestly? The memories they shared with each other don't even compare.

Even without much sound, he can understand what's happening. When the memory ends, Tsurumaru is quiet for a moment. )

This exchange is hardly fair.

(A safe, warm memory of being cared for versus the serious, somber memory of being someoen's second at their suicide.)
