But that's a game.
When Saizou spars with Kazuki, he has no doubt that the other man will win and he'll lose. The question is by how much.
But that's practice.
When Saizou fights side by side with Kazuki, he is good, but the other man is better. He loves him for it.
But that's battle.
When Saizou will have to kill Kazuki, he is dreadfully afraid that the other man will lose.
The black cocoon in his heart won't even let him weep.
