(He isn't his sword anymore but he's... a friend? It isn't what Hizen expected to hear and he frowns.
A friend. He isn't really sure what to make of that. As far as he's concerned his only friends are... no, he doesn't even want to think of Mutsunokami as a friend. Maybe sensei? But it's complicated. It doesnt quite feel the same. Perhaps the other wakizashi, then. He likes them enough but he'd rather call them comrades. It's easier to call them that but he knows they'd call him a friend and... he doesn't have any way to rebuke it. He can think of a few people in this city that would fall under the same category.
But Ryouma? Whho runs off and does his own thing despite what Hizen says? Who never listens to him? Who causes him so much grief still? It isn't that he dislikes Ryouma. It isn't that he doesn't care. It's complicated.)
Friends my foot.
Just 'cause we got a history... ya think you gotta like me now. Just like Mutsunokami and Sensei. If ya didn't feel like you were stuck with me, ya wouldn't care.
