As Gintoki lays dying, he thinks. Not of whose he leaves behind, but death.

When he was young, death was always present. He thought the only happiness was in death.

Sensei taught him differently. He taught Gintoki happiness. Part of Gintoki hated Sensei for that. When Sensei died, it felt like happiness was a lie, all there was is death.

The war taught him while death was painfully unavoidable, protect his comrades was worth it.

The years after reinforce what Sensei taught him, his friends became family.

He didn't expect to die, choking on a grain of rice.
