Even though Yasuki seemed like a cold and intimidating man, he was an empathetic person.

When he was at the funeral of your parents, he saw you. Then he started training you.

Yasuki: "Your enemy is no match for you. But... you still lack control. "

Yasuki brought you to the temple's garden to train under the sakura trees and feel the grass under your feet. He pointed at the bamboo poles.

Yasuki: "Strike through those bamboo poles, you're going to enhance your mastery in wielding a katana."
