“If, in the future, you ever come across someone that calls for you… please do try and pause your journey at that time.”
“All right. I will keep that in mind, that I will.”

Title: そうして‥抱きかかえて寝る

I find it challenging to express why their story captivates me so profoundly. It's an unusual connection between an assassin and a spy who seems detached from life, compelling me to uncover their fate.
Picture a young woman confronting a teenager, the very one who took the life of her fiancé. Yet, when she gazes at him, she sees not a ruthless murderer but an immature boy, despite the blood on his hands and her lack of affection for him.
Consider an idealistic teenager, entrenched in a world devoid of personal sentiments, making calculated decisions for a revolution. Then, he encounters a woman, experiencing an immediate and deep attraction that evolves into profound love. Her mere presence brings him solace, even amidst the most tumultuous times.
Perhaps it resonates because these two teenagers, worlds apart, find a connection through blood, deceit, and revolution. Despite societal forces working against them, they are willing to go to great lengths to protect each other.
Maybe it's the enduring impact that, even 15 years later, with his newly reconstructed life shattered, merely conversing with her spirit brings an immediate smile to his face.
A story of a cold, calculated, and idealistic young warrior navigating through a spectrum of emotions akin to any young man deeply in love.
While many readers emphasize the tragedy, I perceive it differently. Their story is laden with tragedy because it is infused with an abundance of love.

Himura Kenshin truly is the epitome of redemption- You know, I always thought at first, wouldn't using a wooden sword be easier for him to not kill with? He's still dangerous even with a wooden blade anyway. But then I realized that using a sakabato- kenshin is still deadly, he can still kill- but he actively restrains himself. The sakabato can kill, but it can also hurt kenshin- the blade is facing backwards, after all. Killing hurts other and also himself. Kenshin chooses not to kill. he doesn't kill not because he can't but because he genuinely wants to redeem himself, and thus puts in everything into trying to teach himself to not kill, and he chooses not to kill. He's amazing.

“You have to come back to me,” she said hollowly, tears falling freely to land with gentle taps on Kenichi’s sling.
She could not bear the loss of a second love. It would kill her; she knew it.
“I will always come back to you,” he murmured. “So long as I’m able, I will always come back to you.”
