["... did you hear?"
"... oh! Oh! Is it..."
"... Not true!"

When the dream begin, there's faint whisperings. Norimune is there, sitting down with his eyes closed and surrounded by shadowy figures talking amongst themselves. But over time, they grew louder and louder. Until only the voices talking about the story drowns out the dissenting voices. If one listens carefully, they may pick up on some words being used a lot. "Okita Souji", "sword"... Norimune opens his mouth, but any words he speak get completely drowned out by the voices.

"You know that's impossible—"
"Okita Souji owned one!"

A moment later, Norimune's clothes shimmer and fades out... as another set replaces it. He opens his eyes and look down at himself, before he laughs out loud. It's clear he's laughing, and he looks quite conflicted. But no sound comes from his mouth.

The only thing that can be heard are the shadowy figures talking loudly around him.]

[He almost expected this. If the young Okita Souji swords saw his dream, why not their master as well? Even if he's not the same one they know, it did little to calm his complicated feelings.

After staring for a moment, Norimune pick up his quill. And pause, debating on how much to write.]

Are you surprised?

[embracethewind]

{ It's... complicated, indeed. Why must his three swords act as if he did them wrong? Has he been a bad master after all? }

I'm not denying that I am, it's--

... I don't feel alone with all of you here. Well, I never did even in your original bodies.

[kikuichi]

I'm sure the young ones would be happy to know. Those two still think fondly of you.

[The Kiyomitsu and Yasusada he knows are different from the ones here, but they are still the same at their core.]

Although for me, I never have the honour of serving you.

[embracethewind]

I... I've met them. Both unique despite how opposite they are.

{ Wait... what? }

What do you mean? I've Okiku-chan with me. Of course you had.

[kikuichi]

[... It's fortunate this is written words. Norimune doesn't know what kind of expression he's making.]

How curious. Because I never remember anything being with you.

But that is a rather cute nickname.

[He wrote, as he thinking over this... his first thought was wondering if this Okita Souji hailed from a derailed timeline.]
