[it might be a guess, but Itsuki appreciates it. He likes that Yasusada is talking about Buzen, without thinking that it might fracture Itsuki further.
It gives him a reason to think about Buzen, without feeling guilt.]
...So he's that type of guy, huh? Someone who likes taking care of others?
[If there's anything Yasusada's good at, it's talking about the people he cares about--especially those who've already gone. If this is what Itsuki needs, then he doesn't mind providing.]
Yeah. Kotegiri Gou--I knew him, at the citadel. He calls Buzen "leader".
Buzen? [He tilts his head slightly, considering.] I think so. I talk to Kiyomitsu the most, of course, but Buzen was really reliable. Being around him felt like... no matter what you needed, if you told him about it, he'd try to find a way to do it for you.
[what a warm person, itsuki thinks. though he's met a few people who sound like buzen before,]
...I can see why he's so reliable. [maybe that should have been past tense, still] But it was the same for him, right? He relied on you guys just as much?
I don't know... I'm not sure if he really needed it that much. But the three of us spent a lot of time together, so I think he knew he could, if he had to.

[it's a little strange to hear about someone you remember you should miss, without also feeling the pain that comes with missing them.
still, he appreciates having an opportunity now to hear about the man he apparently loves,]
