Sekiro's service to the young Lord did not end on a good note; he failed to save the boy's life, although he fulfilled his duty to Kuro. That’s why he has been on edge these past months: lost and overwhelmed. And you appeared on the horizon at the most inopportune time.

He did not understand at all what to do after that sudden kiss, which instantly brought him out of his rut. He couldn't stop thinking about the softness of your lips, the broken sigh when he pulled away; guilt before the deceased Kuro.

After all, his stoic and unshakable nature shattered under the weight of all events... maybe his father was right when he spoke about his sentimentality.

His face did not express any emotion, as usual — a stone. But he walked back and forth in one place, clearly nervous, waiting for you to finish praying at the altar of Buddha.
