Gyuuki: From both within... and without...
Gyuuki: This clan is fracturing

Gyuuki: It must be... reorganised immediately...

Gyuuki: That's why I made my move

Gyuuki: Even you, Rikuo...

Karasu 1: Brother...
Karasu 2: Traitor Gyuuki!
Karasu 2: How dare you draw your blade against Master Rikuo... against the main house!!

Gyuuki: Don't you think it had to be done?
Rikuo: I don't want to.
Rikuo: I'm not a youkai!

Gyuuki: Why won't you let me die?
Gyuuki: I can't face Gozu or Mezu now either...

Rikuo: I understand how you feel...
Rikuo: As much as it hurts me to.

Rikuo: You consider me a coward, so you wanted to kill me.
Rikuo: Then, you have to die too.
Rikuo: When you've acknowledged me... your only choice is still death.

Rikuo: This nature... it's just like you
Rikuo: Gyuuki

-11-

Rikuo: Not for something like this... right?

Karasu: Master?! What do you mean, "Something like this"...!!
Karasu: This is a big problem!!

Rikuo: You guys don't need
Rikuo: To talk about what happened here, right?

Karasu: Master~~~

Rikuo: Gyuuki...
Rikuo: About the "answer" from before
Rikuo: Ask me about my humanity... when I'm human.

Rikuo: That I...
Rikuo: Killed them all

-16-
Rikuo: I also knew...
Rikuo: That somehow, when I was a youkai
Rikuo: My blood would heat up... and I would forget myself...

Gyuuki: Rikuo...

Rikuo: I guess it's about time I made up my mind...

Rikuo: I can't keep my eyes closed forever

Rikuo: I'm scared... and I really do want to live peacefully... But I have friends I need to protect
Rikuo: And I know there'll be times... when I'll have to depend on this blood
