At the moment of her death, Chinatsu was crying. There still were tears in her eyes.
[November seems to doubt for a moment]
They could have been from pain, given how her injuries were like. Or they could have been from sorrow, having been betrayed by someone. Or perhaps impotence at having been unable to stop her demise despite presumably having tried to defend herself by moving metal around. I have been turning it in my head and I see no way of figuring that out.
Regardless, I decided not to mention it because the reactions would have been very negative. Everything else I said already made people upset someone like her was attacked like that. If I had mentioned she spent her last moments crying, that all would have been much worse.
[While he can't think with emotions, he's not completely ignorant about them. He was human once, after all. This was an educated guess of how he thinks they'd in the face of something as upsetting as that -- it did bring even November some pause, after all]
[Honestly, it makes sense. Perhaps if they'd had something, anything solid to work with, Yasusada would scold him for keeping secrets--but as it is, November's right. It wouldn't have helped.
He sighs.]
You're right... it could mean a lot of things. There's no way to know.
I doubt she even was trying to kill her opponent. The only way she would have ever done that, is by being under a compulsion. Everything she did must have been defensive.

This failure is going to weigh in a lot of people's minds.
[Especially those Chinatsu got along the best, that's for sure!]
