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.
That peaceful world might still 
be some way off, you know?
قد يكون ذلك العالَم المُسالِم لا يزالُ بعيداً
Diese friedliche Welt ist vielleicht
noch ein Stück entfernt, weißt du?
Creo que ese mundo pacífico
 recién existirá en el futuro.
Temo que el mundo pacífico 
todavía tarde bastante en llegar.
Le monde de paix dont nous parlons
n’est peut-être pas encore arrivé.
Quel mondo di pace potrebbe 
ancora essere lontano, sai?
Esse mundo de paz ainda 
pode estar longe, sabia?
