As the Tokugawa clan's messenger, Nobuyuki heads to Aizu to inform the Uesugi clan of their punishment following the battle of Sekigahara. He meets Kanetsugu Naoe, who refuses to accept the severe, and almost cruel, demands, but Nobuyuki refuses to budge too. On the other hand, while Yukimura escaped the death penalty, he was leading an empty life, without being able to find the "meaning of his life" that Nobuyuki had asked him to reconsider. But one night, things start to get noisy in his vicinity.
I'm glad his life was spared,
أنا مسرورةٌ لأن حياته قد عُفيَتْ
Ich bin froh, dass sein
Leben verschont wurde,
Me alegra que Yukimura-sama siga con vida.
Me alegra que Yukimura-sama esté a salvo.
Je suis heureuse
qu’il soit en vie.
Sono contenta che gli sia stata 
risparmiata la vita,
Eu fiquei feliz pela vida 
dele ter sido poupada,
