Needs More Bombs
By Sinnatious
Katsura had decided. Edo had to go.
"There's no other way, Elizabeth," he said. Elizabeth sat next to him, her silent agreement all the confirmation he needed.
"We didn't manage to blow up the terminal. But that's no reason to give up."
Elizabeth stared vacantly ahead. Katsura lowered his hat, watching warily as a group of civilians wandered past.
"It's very logical. If there's no Edo, there's no reason for the Amanto to come here anymore."
It was ambitious, of course, but thinking small wouldn't win the rebellion. He hadn't been thinking large enough. The vast terminal stretching above the skyline? Too obvious a target. The Shinsengumi Headquarters? Surprisingly resilient against explosions. Edo itself?
Proof that Katsura was the brains of the outfit.
"I didn't mean any offence, Elizabeth," he stated seriously. "Of course, you deserve credit for the plan too."
Elizabeth stared at a butterfly flitting past the park bench.
"That's true. It will be a lot of work. But I don't necessarily need to blow it all up at once. I could do half one day, and do the other half the next."
The butterfly landed on Elizabeth's head. Its wings fluttered faintly in the warm spring breeze.
"…We're going to need more bombs."
