[Shh, it's okay, Hinata, Nic doesn't know about this conversation. You'll be alright.
If Hinata's interest or investment in something could be judged by how many punctuation marks he used, Kino assumes that he's interested in this story. Unfortunately, Kino does not believe themself to be the most gifted at telling stories (they prefer to listen), and it's even more difficult when texting. They'll try, though.]
FROM: kino@cdc.org I defeated him. It was not easy, though. He could move faster than the eye could see at one time.
FROM: kino@cdc.org I managed to catch the bottom of the grip with my revolver and knock his sword out of his hands.
FROM: kino@cdc.org Had I not done that, though, he most likely would have killed me.
[Not that Shizu had wanted to. Both of them had begged the other to step down from that last fight in the coliseum, but Kino had perceived his situation and knew that the path he was on would lead him to nothing but ruin. So Kino had stepped in and taken the mantle of that ruin from him, placing it upon themself.
All in all, he had been a respectable person, and Kino hopes that his travels bring him and his dog, Riku, happiness.]
