Toba Tsuyu

The flag beyond the ridge has stood in the same spot for two months now. Two months is time enough to measure which way a person's heart leans.

• Kudo RokuroMy lord, stand at the gate that long and every eye in this castle ends up fixed on your back.
  Toba TsuyuThat's exactly why I'm standing here. Let them look.
• Araki SeishiroWhen someone's about to tip, the spear knows before the eye does. Don't measure with your eyes.
  Gen'amiLord Araki, seems to me the only thing tipping in front of the storehouse last night was you.

I lay two ledgers side by side. Rice left, on the left. People left, on the right.

• MyokanMy lord, read either one back to front and you'll start craving a drink.
  Toba TsuyuWhich is why I keep your name written on the last page, Reverend.
• Toba SaeBrother, I see you've gone and rewritten even his ledger in your own hand.
  Toba TsuyuNot rewritten. Carried forward.
