I Am Truth

Revelation - contrary to popular belief - was not a grateful experience.

Realizing that the physical world can never satisfy the demands of mental desires is a harsh truth for anyone. Those confronted with it fall inevitably down a bottomless pit of pessimism and depression. The psychological pain caused by sadness that occurs when beholding that one's own weaknesses are caused by the inappropriateness and cruelty of the world is able to render even the most bolstered of minds insane. They seek isolation from this "truth", creating their own world within their minds and their environment where they can attain perfected satisfaction, but keep this to themselves because they fear this world might be destroyed by the opinion of others.

Sōsaku was such a person.

However, he did not keep his world to himself. He decided to recreate reality in a "fair" way, where there was no natural or human-made order to segregate things. Instead, everything would depend on chaos and disorder, giving everyone the least chance on a blissful life but at least the same chance.

And if such a clarification didn't work, Sōsaku could come up with a thousand others to justify his radical actions. Or not at all.

But of course, a game couldn't be played without pawns to take out their antagonistic peers and certainly not without entertainment. At the moment, Sōsaku was looking more for the latter, and he believed he had found it under the guise of a Shinsengumi officer. Using Saeyuku, he had sent out a which had been "coded" perfectly, making it improbable if not to say impossible for anyone to think it wouldn't be coming from the Intelligence Operations Division Commander. The trap had been set, now Sōsaku only had to wait for the innocent deer to stray into it.
