-----Breakdown Grace
"I want to break you down." –Stabbing Westward
Yuuto appreciates beauty. He sees the appealing innocence of children laughing in a park, stands motionless before a masterpiece by Cézanne. He photographs droplets of water beading on a tree branch and the sudden shaft of light glinting off a young girl's dark hair. He loves the endless desperation in Kanoe's self-perpetuating hunger, and admires the terse grace with which the Kamui grants wishes. He kisses Kanoe's hand lingeringly, watching Satsuki's utter stillness out of the corner of his eye. The frozen emotional breakdown of a girl with no emotions: Yuuto thinks that truly, he's never created anything more beautiful.
