Those first few bitter words that Keru mentioned made Ieyasu grow quiet. At first he didn't understand, but at the end of the day it was just among the countless collection of shitty memories that would come back. It was what Keldran said next talking about being too late that made Ieyasu's heart skip a beat. He was still flush from his anger and all the other emotions that were just in the air seconds ago. Yet, now everything just felt and tasted acrid as Keldran took his sword and started to walk towards the forest.

When it was just the mirages, they were just that for Ieyasu. Seeing what Keldran actually was now, guilt was starting to hang heavy on Ieyasu's heart. He was the last straw in what it took to finally break Keldran's will. Another person who got fucked over by the world, but unlike Ieyasu he actually had a lot to lose and all of that was just... gone. Ieyasu could never truly understand how that felt, but he had a rough idea from his own harsh experiences as different as they may have been.

If there was one parting gift that Gyugii gave to Ieyasu, it was not only this new life but a different outlook on things. Everything was bleak and any man who was around their age was frayed around the edges for good reason as young as they were. He began to run off to catch up with Keldran, Ieyasu wasn't really sure what he was going to say but an apology was in order.

"Wait," Ieyasu yelled to catch Keldran's attention, "it's... it's never too late, at least for what's still around. I don't know how to say this right... but although things will never be the same between us or the whole damn world itself, maybe there's a reason we're here right now talking to each other. The world wants us dead, Keldran, but we're still alive aren't we? Fuck, we've even come back from death itself, right?"

"I regret everything I did to you, Keldran. I know that much because I remember thinking of that before I bit the dust. I don't know if what I'm saying is making sense, but if it doesn't and you just want to keep on: I just want to let you know that I'm sorry for being a jackass here and before death. I didn't consider the things you were going through yourself and what you felt."

If Keldran just kept walking, Ieyasu wouldn't have anymore to say. He said all he needed to, and he couldn't really get what he was trying to say to Keldran. He wasn't that much of a good speaker. Ieyasu just felt wrong about this all, and was so confused about everything that happened today it was hard to really make sense of anything. There was no telling what the immediate future held for everyone here today, but maybe just a spark of hope and purpose was all that was needed to rekindle the fires of the many.
