Obligation
Genma missed Hayate. He missed his gentle voice, the inappropriately timed coughing fits, his unnatural grace as he danced with his sword, his loving caresses when they were alone. Genma regrets that their last meeting had involved cruel, bitter words; wishes he had let Hayate know that he loved Hayate and was his, no matter whom he chose.
Yugao would never know how she had come between her fiancé and the man he had loved since before he had met her and was spared the inevitable desertion. The world saw Genma mourn the loss of his friend. Raidou knew better.
Devotion
Anko loved her village and she loved her sensei. There was once a time she had thought that it was one and same. Then he betrayed her and she was accused of betraying the village. Rejected by all that she had centered her life around. There was nothing else to hold on to except the reluctant pardon she received from the council, no reason to complain about how she always got the most dangerous missions. She knew what she was. Disposable. A damaged tool whose maintenance would be redeemed only by its last service.
She lived only to kill him.
