I am Shimada Hanzo.
I arrived with several of the other new ones.

I have been assigned as your Wing Repair Officer. I do not imagine I am the only one assigned to this duty, so I would speak to others who have been assigned this job as well.

I am located in Moro #013 if I am needed.

Have you not ever heard of looking for a silver lining?

Consider this an opportunity.

[whatshimadayou]

I have heard of looking at matters realistically.

For what?

[gluteusexmachina]

Reality is not always darkness.

For many things. It will come to be seen.

[whatshimadayou]

Reality is always cruel. You of all people should know that.

Your attempt to sound wise after all these years?
I expect only dread and being forced to wait here.

[gluteusexmachina]

I have found a different truth.

You think I sound wise, then? Haha, the reality of the situation is only what you make of it, Hanzo. You have changed so little in ten years, but I will remain hopeful for you.

[whatshimadayou]

Then you are still a wide-eyed, naive man who will amount to nothing! You, who claims to be my brother.

[gluteusexmachina]

If you are so afraid of change that you are so surprised that I am different, even after coming back from the brink of death, then I truly have surpassed you.

[whatshimadayou]

You are not the Genji I knew. For all I know, you are a machine wearing what remains of my brother's flesh.
You were dead for ten years!

[gluteusexmachina]

If you are still in denial about who I am, perhaps you should ask your dragons, who you sent to rend me from the world. I was alive and coming to terms with what I am now, brother. In doing so, I forgave you, now you must open yourself beyond your grief.

I understand that I cannot expect a miracle so quickly. Fortunately, we have nothing but time now.

[whatshimadayou]

Your blood might be Shimada, but I have yet to determine who you are to me. Make no assumptions.

[gluteusexmachina]

Oh Hanzo.

What have you been doing to yourself.

[whatshimadayou]

You would not know.
You allowed me to believe you were dead for ten years. Or are you really just a synthetic puppet?

This conversation is done.

[gluteusexmachina]

You expected me to come running back to you to assure you?

Very well, Hanzo. I hope you are at peace until we next speak.
