Kenshin certainly didn't feel like a very good person at the moment, but he had to keep up the facade. His experience with Yuffie at breakfast this morning had taught him that it was much less of a headache to just play along with all this, and pray that it would pass eventually.

Still, he couldn't help latching on to something she'd said. Her brother. No wonder why she'd taken everything so seriously as Sen; apparently being in the Shinsengumi was a family affair. Kenshin wondered who her brother could be. One of the captains, perhaps? Or maybe just a foot soldier, one who had fallen beneath Battousai's blade...?

In spite of himself, Kenshin paled slightly. "This one wasn't aware you had a brother, actually," he admitted.
