Someone mentioned this to me a while back, but...

Eyepatches look cool, so you should always keep one on. Sound about right?

Yeah, for sure. You think it's cool too, don't you?

But mine got destroyed after only a light graze. What a shame.

Yes, I think so too...

However, that's not what I wanted to talk about.

That eye of yours... you can't see out of it anymore, right?

...That's right.

Then again, doesn't this make me look scarier?

Let's see those little brats make fun of me now...

No,

Not scary. I think it makes you look cool.

Yeah, thanks.

That day was the first time I'd ever seen Tenryuu's left eye.

And, to her, that was the same as a war medal like no other.

Tenryuu-sama, comin' home a winner!
