[ He's honestly not sure if he should feel relieved that, despite his generation being the instigator of all of this, Amagiri has never expressed a single bitter feeling towards him. Maybe it would have been easier to bear if he would have gotten angry, if he would have yelled, but he's never done that. No matter how tough things got, no matter how tough things are now.
Not that Kazutake himself would have expressed any bitter feeling if he were in the other's shoes - he would have done the same. Just carried out his duty quietly, since that's just the thing when it comes to duty: you just have to fulfill it for the sake of something greater than just you.
Still, all of this feels like a forgiveness that he doesn't deserve, that doesn't live up to the guilt gnawing at the back of his mind. ]
You are far too good, my grandson.
[ Not what he usually calls him, since he's just used to using first names like demons did Back In The Day and all.. but this feels too personal to just use his first name like that. This is about the connection between them, the same blood flowing through their veins. ]
A lesser man would not have been able to carry such a feat in the slightest. [ Even if Amagiri shouldn't have to do it, even if it's cruel and unfair and-- he smiles, even if there's definitely something pained in it because of that fact. ] Words can not describe how proud I am to have seen you grow this way. To solve the problems I have caused.. truly, you have surpassed me, too.
