[So, Yasusada is a sword.
And honestly, it isn't the murders or deaths that bother him. He is (perhaps contrary to popular belief) smart enough not to say as much out loud, because... well, most of the others are human. More-or-less.
So the blood, the necessity of killing, all of that is easy enough for him to accept. But seeing Jae-ha's breakdown in the aftermath had summoned up the most painful of his memories--and that, he hadn't prepared for.
Yasusada lost his master, in the past. He lost his partner. He'd lost just about everyone dear to him, intangible and invisible and utterly helpless.
Now, he is tangible. He is visible. And he is willing to do anything, if it means he won't be helpless this time around.
We still know nothing about those two, Okita had said, just a little earlier--and, well. It wasn't an order, but Yasusada wants so, so badly to be a good sword, now that he can actually speak to his master. So if they know nothing about "those two", then it stands to reason Okita would want to find out more. So here Yasusada is, searching for... something. Anything. Anything at all.
And then the door appears.
He very nearly walks past it, so caught up in his own head as he is right now, but thankfully even he isn't quite that oblivious. He is, however, lacking in self-preservation enough to open the magical door and poke his head inside, because it's not like this place is dangerous or anything.]

no subject
[He sounds disappointed, maybe, tired, but not really surprised.
Letting his gaze wander around the room again, he mumbles to himself, trying to sort out conflicting loyalties.] But Okita-kun will be sad if I attack someone innocent...
[Innocent of targeting him personally, that is, since that's the only truly important factor to him. But if the rules are accurate, then it's only a matter of time... and yet, it's difficult to justify striking indiscriminately, even though he knows that almost everyone here is likely willing to do just that if need be.
Almost everyone.
He glances back at her, big eyes openly distressed. He isn't a youkai--mind games and strategies are not his forte. His hands itch to take action, but with no one to direct him, he's left feeling restless, helpless, and frustrated with himself.] Isn't there a way to tell who's going to strike?
