Oh my god I never even once thought about Sword just straight up being a sword that technically speaking is basically just a AI not even really alive dame
he will now embrace the path of a true swordsman being tranquil with one's path and life accepting all their is to better their path not letting secular thoughts like power anger love sadness overtake the beauty that is the blade for she is me and I am her
it's been a while since I start to feel sad for myself and Shang, the moment I read that Sword is not a real sentient and companion to him the sadness i felt somehow exceed when he had to kill Jerald
