Contrary to the belief, Yoshitsune did not hate her. He was pretending to ate her, trying to hate her, as a diversion. He hated himself; he wished to scold himself for whatever he did wrong to make Amu not love him. Not knowing how to release his self-hatred, he directed it unintentionally toward the woman he loved. It was easier for his heart to shift the blame than to tolerate it. He took off the upper half of his robes, kneeling in the soil. Slowly, with a haunting, fluid grace, he silently drew one his blades, holding out, prepared to thrust it in himself. Nobody was looking; nobody would hear.
"What have I done? What did I do to make you hate me? Why, oh why, do you spurn me so? I am unworthy of you. Even Benkei wouldn't look me in the eye anymore. I'm weak. I'm pathetic. I'm useless. There's no other reason why you'd discard me so easily. Maybe now, as I commit the sacred ritual of seppuku, I will at least become worthy to roam with the good spirits. Good-bye, my love. May you find someone better than I..." He slowly pulled the blade toward his chest... Slowly puncturing the skin and muscle... His blood made contact with the air. It wouldn't be long before he punctured a vital organ now...

Nymm shivered as a burst of pain briefly wracked her body, reminding her that there wasn't much time to waste. "Enough! You both love each other, and whether you believe you're good enough for the other or not, we need to start moving, before it doesn't matter anymore!" She looked at Amu, a concerned look crossing her face as she noticed the blood, and she knelt beside the woman, offering her something from a small pouch on her belt. "Eat this; it'll stop your bleeding until we can fix you up, okay? And don't give me any crap about leaving you here to die, because I've never left a comrade behind, and I'm not about to start now."
