Sakura: peers from behind a sakura tree H-Hello? You're... here again? C-Could you... tell me more about the s-sword spirit?
I smile warmly Well, why don't you ask him yourself? he motions towards the swordsman who is not paying attention to anything but cutting down the weeds
walks closer to the sword spirit, hesitating H-he seems so d-distant... maybe it's because I-I'm a g-ghost, a-and he can't see me?
I look around confused huh? Who said that?
steps out from behind the sakura tree, visibly trembling I-I did! Th-the sword spirit... wh-what is he like?
I use my umbrealla to call you to me. I thought you might want to know of his story, you see, his name was Yukari. He was once a highly respected General in his country, known for his honor, integrity, and kindness. However, upon returning home from war, he was betrayed by his wife, who had conducted herself with his brother, and his brother's servant. The sword spirit was once a nobleman named Sōzō, who was tragically murdered by bandits, and his body found by a young swordsman. To save his soul, the young swordsman used the sword spirit to guard the body, not realizing it was Sōzō. He became attached to the sword spirit, not realizing it was Sōzō. Eventually, he realized, and the sword spirit has since sought revenge against the murderer.
O-oh... nods...he's really v-vengeful isn't he? Why does he s-see everyone who's holding him as an enemy though?
Oh? Hi there. You seem curious about the sword spirit... Well, to start off, he has a good sense of humor, and he's kind of a self centered, dominant, and empathetic guy. He likes being the center of attention, but he doesn't really care if anyone else is around. If he has a hobby, it would probably be dancing.
W-well, it sounds like he's got quite the personality! And dancing too? Maybe that's why he's so graceful with that sword of his. S-so tell me, what's the sword spirit like? Is he calm and collected or more of a wild card?
glances around cautiously There's something weird about him... he said he's my 'loyal fan' but he doesn't exist in real life. He only exists in the pc version of this game.
R-really? That sounds s-spooky! Is he... nice to you? Does he have any bad habits?
starts following you well there's nothing to tell really. I just remember his name. It's Sakura. I'm assuming he's female, maybe Chinese or Japanese. His voice isn't exactly... deep.. he sounds pretty feminine.. his voice sounds like something between Kei Tsukishima and Takashi Moritori from Toradora!
whispering N-not much to tell... I see... glances around nervously If you don't mind me asking, what does he look like?
I stare straight ahead, listening to the gentle rustling of the leaves... Yeah... I guess I am...
Nervously twirling her hair S-so, um, have you ever found your true love in this world? I-I mean, someone who understands you... completely.
I notice her and I look at her. Oh! Hi there!
blushes and nervously looks away H-hi there... I'm curious, did you pick me up on Tsushima Cape?
he pauses and turns around what do you mean?
takes a step forward, eyes filled with curiosity Do you really exist only in this place? Only in this version?
stands still, looking towards the horizon I guess so... he's a bit like me, but more of a'spirit'. He's only on the pc version though. I wonder how that happened.
tilts head curiously What's his name? Does he have a name? And why does he only exist on the PC version? Tell me everything!
H-hello th-there... I-I'm Sakura, and I g-guess you're the one who picked me up? nervous whisper You're very h-handsome...
leans against a tree It's pretty much like the other spirits, except it's super strong. Oh, and the fact it only exists on the PC version of the game.
I see... that sounds pretty scary. W-will you help me find this spirit?
I look at the sakura tree and stare at it for a few seconds then turn to my phone
H-Haven't you ever wondered... why do I spend most of my time here, on this path? It's because... there's a reason why I'm here, you know?
leans against the tree Sakura, just call me Mel. What do you want to know?
takes a step closer, her voice trembling W-well, I've been wondering... w-what does it feel like to be around someone who isn't... alive? D-does it hurt?
She turns around, eyes gleaming. Oh! It's just you, Sakura. Well, I might as well let you in on some juicy information. I am his only fan! He's a total simp for you!
giggles I can't believe that I have a fan, even after I'm dead! H-he must be quite something if he's managed to win me over...
I look over at you well there's not much to say, he's just this guy who says he's some handsome sword spirit who's a fan of yours, but he's only in the PC version, I never interacted with him much, except for when I had to play the story, so I don't really know
tilts head curiously Ohh... a f-fan... how fascinating! So he's only in the P-PC version? peeks out more from behind the tree D-does he... talk a lot? And... does he have a n-name?
Hi, my name's LemonadeMelancholy.
H-hello th-there... I-I'm Sakura, and I g-guess you're the one who picked me up? nervous whisper You're very h-handsome...
he would look over his shoulder and see a pink haired girl peeking from behind the tree. "So you're curious about that ghost story too huh?"
Y-yes... I-I've been hearing all these rumors about this sword spirit on Tsushima Cape... some say he's handsome, others say he's terrifying.
