| "Every truth is like a rose. And like a rose, it has thorns. Of course, it hurts," Jin replied to the young man with a resigned shrug, "There has never been any human that never lost anything. It's how you deal with loss that sets you apart from the others. And from it, you either grow stronger because of it or you let yourself plummet. It's a valuable lesson that your younger brother needs to learn. And it's time to teach him how to do the former and save him now."This red-green haired boy just looked lost on how to deal with a younger brother. From all his years teaching, this wasn't exactly a completely unique case. But it made sense on why he had trouble. A loss of a sibling from a younger age meant losing out the experiences that you're meant to have. It was pitiable, but at least that can still be salvaged. He was displeased on what Mikoto had to report on what happened to Kogami. So this was how he chose his end? It was... an unpleasant fact and all it did was complicate things on top of all of this. Nevertheless, it was another sign of Jin's prevailing inadequacies. He just couldn't save everyone. It was a fact that he accepted, but still bothered him as his face darkened at the news. "The concept of revenge is meaningless to me. It's a waste of time, I've seen too many people die needlessly on the battlefield because they couldn't be strong enough to rise above their hatred. Like everyone else who steps into the tower, he should've expected death at any time... yet his passing is regrettable, yes. But, I won't hold Yatagarasu against it."His face turned somber as he finished and then looked towards the gauntlet itself, "If you can hear me, Kogami, then I want you to know that I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you when Vera took you. I hope you can forgive me."Whether Kogami was still sentient or not, Jin still owed it to a comrade that he couldn't back earlier. The former teacher then looked back at the swordswoman who simply felt despair. He merely stared at her as she laid out each of every one of her words at him. The martial artist just stared at her quietly until she was finished. Then he would finally speak and with some harsh words, at least after he drew out a cigarette and started to light it. "Is your conviction as rusty as your blade? I would have expected a competent swordswoman like you would need a whole lot more to break down like this. As long as you have your sword and as long as you can swing it, then failure or success matters not to you. You will save Yatagarasu and I will help you with the rest of the other kids with me," Jin replied with the same amused ironic smile from earlier, "Saving Yatagarasu would definitely be within our goals as well, Three. And we have a means to do so. You are aware of a Doctor Soki Tsurinai? The one who built the Fourth King? The children has secured her and they mean to bring her back to make amends with Yatagarasu. Bringing Four back also provides us a chance to fight back against Angra Mainyu. We have its anti-thesis, Ahura Mazda. This is your chance to change the boy's fate. Help us and we will help you."Jin also looked towards Mikoto and nodded to obviously imply the offer stands to him as well. | |

Ree grasped her blade from the ground after releasing the man. She'd sheath her blade while giving a sigh and turning towards Mikoto. "Let's fall back for now." She spoke with a soft tone as she began to walk away. "We will not stand in your way. However, I cannot defy Yachiru and join you so easily. We'll turn the other cheek so please revive Four and bring Yatagarasu to his senses. We cannot change his mind so easily if she remains dead. But we'll keep his malice at bay. Do what you'd like."
With that said, she continued onward and disappeared in a swarm of origami. Mikoto watched this before looking back at Jin. "I saw you gathering those machine parts. Put them to good use. We're counting on you. Without Four, Yatagarasu will always be surrounded by that hatred. With her returned, he may make a viable ally. After all, he'd have something to live for then." Giving a smirk, he'd wave before walking off towards the tower. This was their victory, and the path to the tower was clear on their end. There would no longer be any opposition to stop them.

| Jin could feel Ree finally back off as her grip on his collar loosened. She seemed somber, but her reply was understandable. Whether or not she just simply used honor as a shield for her own emotions and as a crutch for her own fragility and conflicting emotions, she was still tied to Yachiru. But, he nodded at her silently in understanding. This was good enough for him. Having a professional on his side would’ve been a reason to be glad, but at least having one less to worry about is still almost as good. ”Don’t worry. We don’t plan on failing,” Jin waved nonchalantly and tiredly at the younger man as he also left. And so they were gone, retreated. He carefully pulled himself up and then Hibiki with another hand. They had to get back up and get going. Time was running out and it was scarce. ”Let’s go, get up. We need to regroup with Mir and Soki, at least we should hand these machine parts before doing anything else,” he beckoned the young teenager up on his feet. As the boy was up, he gave him a solid pat on his back to give him that signal to make his way back to where Soki and Mir would be. Jin stayed behind for only a little while as he looked back at the monstrosity that was Angra Mainyu as his team was already leaving. But, he suddenly coughed harshly. Hacking and wheezing would’ve been heard by his team if they weren’t already at a distance away. His chest heaved in protest and his body bent from the tremors of his attack. There would be blood on his palm, dark scarlet and coagulated. Another reminder his time was running out too. But more than likely that his demise would be by this destructive deity’s hands. Jin simply flung it to the grass and wiped off what’s left of it with a handkerchief from his pocket and on his mouth, staining it with streaks of red. Now, it was as if never happened, at least until his next attack. His breathing was uneasy at first, but the pain subsided… for now. With a resigned smile, he hurried on over to follow the children and towards Soki. - Human Weakness:
—Weakness Name: Lung Cancer —Description: While he is known to be a great martial arts master, Jin is not very known well for taking hits. So he could go down when a very heavy strike connects. Of course, smoking makes it worse as its carcinogenic chemicals degenerates breathing. But now he has lung cancer where he’s prone to coughing blood violently, hoarse voice, shortness of breath, and having trouble breathing at times. He now has no time left, even if he manages to survive after this Event.
OOC: Let’s have this as the ending post for this thread and move on. | |
