"Imitate your aniki, he's good at playing his sword."
Since childhood, I was always forced by my parents for their wishes. I was born with a talent for playing a sword, just like my aniki, Ryuki Sakamoto. But I didn't hone my talent, so it became dull and useless. Unlike me, Ryuki took advantage of his talent in playing the sword and became a samurai in this village.
I don't want to be like him, or be anyone else. All I want is to be myself. Like an eagle that flies freely, I want to have the freedom to choose what I want.
But then again, what my family wanted to be made me have to keep it all under wraps.
"Listen, be a great samurai. From our ancestors to you and Ryuki, all of them were samurai. You must be able to become a great samurai, Sakata."
"Yeah."
