[It's not as if he thought Mizu carried the sword for show. Even so, it's a blatant admission. Not even couching it in self-soothing words to ease his ego. Less high-minded morals than a lot of others maybe, or just realistic enough to know it doesn't matter.
Richie, on the other hand, is forever outclassed and outdone by his fellow souls. If you wanted to squint at the issue, you could call him a killer. You'd catch him more handily on vice, but since when did that warrant being literally eaten alive?]
...I suppose if making the cut is arbitrary, then maybe punishment is too.
[Not looking forward to that. Seeing kids pay for things grown folks would shudder to pony up for.]
Why did you? Kill, I mean? [He's feeling a little woozy from the day. It's a bad one, and he'll need to rest soon, as will Mizu no doubt, but he's got a mind to chase a few threads before he goes.] You're free to tell me to go fuck myself for asking, by the way. I'd get it.
