"I do love maple leaves as it reminds me of my hometown. I drink a fair bit to blunt my homesickness." "When I'm by myself, all that I need in wine, song, and the blade in my hand. Though, if someone with a blade knocks on the door during a rainy night, most people will be on their guard." "I gaze up at the moon and lend my ear to the gentle breeze, with wine in my cup and peace in my heart... When you can spare the time, why not join me to discuss our favorite poetry over some saké?"
