"I am Ikiji Murasashi, heir to the great Murasashi legacy," a flicker of sadness crossed his face, "though I doubt you've heard of it."
Strange. He had joined with only one purpose; finding Saiya. That was the sole reason he came here; he had felt no loyalty to these people, no sympathy for their cause.
But now, that was changing. He felt as though their cause had become his own. He knew that he wouldn't be able to leave until he saw this through, and he knew that Matsuko was realizing the same thing. Somewhere along the line, he had become a member of the Uprising, in spirit if not necessarily in actuality. He had done what he thought undoable for him.

Old, haunting faces flashed through his mind...he heard the harsh shouts....saw the flash of gunfire....felt the heat of the fire.....
He shook himself again. Now is not the time for flashbacks. We should go. But, first...

He looked back towards the camp. "And something tells me that, after being bound to murderers like that, they won't be very welcoming of being assigned to Uprising members.
"So, what should we do?"
