[ It is as if someone took Ishida, wrapped him up in pretty paints and flowery fabric, and set him down in front of her. It was a surreal experience, but she could hear the emotions now that were so fundamentally Mitsunari. ]

I see.

[ She placed her hands on her thighs as she thought how to continue. ]

From where I sit, things are a bit different. Both Ishida and Tokugawa served Hideyoshi, yes. I was employed by him for a short while myself.

Shortly before Hideyoshi had the entirety of Japan under his rule, Ieyasu turned on him, stating that he was leading the country in the wrong direction. They battled and in the end, Tokugawa was victorious.

Since then, Ishida has wanted nothing more than revenge on his lord's killer; on the other hand, Tokugawa is trying to win many to his side with talk of a great bond between brothers that will unite the land.

The country is splitting in two under the banners of the Tokugawa and the Toyotomi, and all too soon their armies will clash.
