Inevitability. It was a strange concept. Everything in the world had to end. Times were changing. Nations fell and rose. Everything eventually came to an end. Even the human life. Yet, it was the one thing Kurome disliked the most. People you loved shouldn't be separated from you. No one should grieve for the lost loved ones.

It could all be stopped with one blade. Kurome smiled grimly as she looked at the sleek blade in her hands. She had the power to put an end to it all. No more grief. Yet, it wasn't enough. It never will be. There were those whose very nature was to cause grief. Prime minister Honest was one such person.

Kurome wasn't blind. She knew exactly what kind of person the prime minister was, and deep down, she despised him. Yet she rejected the open rebellion because, as much as she despised the man, she also knew that an open war, which her sister and her sister's allies were striving for, would only bring more grief and suffering to innocent people, which was why she was opposed to them and their methods.
