It's like we're more than that.

Whatever you are or aren't, what's important is the you right now.
[ Because on some level, she can understand what it means to be something but not anymore yet something more. ]
I have to be! [He knows himself well enough to know that he'd never accept any other outcome, so.] But they're both really strong, and we haven't sensed any enemies here yet. If Kiyomitsu and I can get our blades back, we'll be fine.
