    Summary

    Kaato married Norisuke Higashikata knowing he expected her to die. 

    He hadn’t said it in so many words, of course. But the way he spoke about his mother’s sacrifice was heavy not just with grief, but implication. He’d told her about the details of his family’s curse right after they’d gotten engaged, as well as the “custom” of self-sacrifice - “naturally occurring”, Norisuke said, as if it were something like a weather pattern, unchangeable. A cruelly passive phrase, denying the pain and desperation of the choices his ancestors had had to make. 

    Kaato had seen it for what it was instantly, of course. She had always believed in free will.

    Summary

    “The people are angry,” one advisor seethed. “They’re hurt, afraid, and they are demanding reparations. Some even go so far as to demand that the savages assimilate into civilized society, that we deliver an ultimatum.”

    “What if we compromised, and made an attempt to obtain reparations and a peace treaty?” Zelda made a point to draw her eyes across each man seated at the table.

    Her father’s hand stilled at his beard, face cast as if shadowed by an autumn storm. Finally, after what felt like years of silence, he stroked his beard thoughtfully.

    “It will be so.”
    -
    While they may not have negotiated peace, the war chief reflected, he had a piece that would guarantee it squirming in his grasp.
