The Tellings Of Walls, The Forgotten Confidents Of Architecture
-'-
If walls could talk, they would tell all kinds of stories, from nice memories to bad memories, from meaningless things to very important things. Walls can hold an entire world in tales.

And if the walls on the room currently shared by the leader of the Kiheitai, and the captain of the Seventh Division of the Harusame, could talk, they could tell you the following tale:
'During one summer afternoon, a man rested his head on a yato's lap. He slept contentedly for the most part; but sometimes the man wept in dreams. Soft mumbles of reminiscent tragedies escape from his lips falling into the room, and the young man's ears.
The redhead would wipe the tears with his fingers, and caress the other's hair to calm him down. He would sing badly sang lullabies with care in his eyes. And when the samurai awoke, confused of his surroundings, the pirate would hold him tight and whisper sweet nothings into his ear, kissing every bit of skin available, with the sole intent of comfort. After a while the human calms down, and snuggles in the other's arms, getting spoiled for a while.'

The next day the walls could tell a different story:
'Two men sat down facing the other. Playing cards on their hands. Their competitiveness is palpable. They play UNO. The smile on the younger's face never wavers, but his voice cracks with frustration every now and then. The eldest doesn't bother with hiding his annoyance; he's losing right now.
Cards come and go, from fingers to the table. From the table to fingers. Eventually of course, the game ends, proclaiming the human as the winner. And the yato isn't very happy. An argument accusing cheating goes down and a fight ensues.
The room gets trashed to say the least. One of the walls has been badly injured, allowing the two to take their fight somewhere else.'

Some walls outside will recall the cruel murder of their friends and family by the hands of those two. The horror of this day is remembered in silent words during the anniversaries of the tragedy.
