Kusanagi Level 1 Weapon Story
"The shield left hanging on the wall was covered in dust.
The blade left in its scabbard had rusted over.
The techniques I hadn't used were forgotten.
The body I was to train was left to grow soft.
I had lost the will to practice discipline."

"I thought things would end without a single word said.
I pretended not to see violence inflicted by others.
I had given up, assuming things would never change.
I believed there was no way to oppose such a great power.
I sneered at hearts that tried to believe anyway."
Kusanagi Level 3 Weapon Story
"I laughed, thinking them brainless fools.
Those were the thoughts I had taken refuge in.
I had given up, believing nothing was possible in the end.
I lamented the foolishness and ugliness of it all.
My life had lost all meaning."
Kusanagi Level 4 Weapon Story
"I had lost sight of those who were precious to me.

I was unable to save them from the grief that tore at their hearts.
I had forgotten the courage it takes to protect the smallest of joys.
I believed my words would never reach you."
