A dangerous level of bias that would lead to forsaking life. Even if each of you have affected each other, and built your own preferences and grudges....
I would only grow worried if someone would allow this grudges to embolden them to act as an executioner.
Or if one would forsake the importance of both happiness and hardship in the world.
And if I were to allow myself a moment to be selfish - I would rather like someone who might be willing to answer small requests of the young one and myself.
If you know the young one’s, then that does take precedent. He has endured far more than I.
[ . . . that said]
My comrades and I are currently fighting a war. I do not know if Ookurikara or Tsurumaru got a chance to explain it to you - however it is likely a war with an end. There will be a conclusion, and we will no longer have a reason to fight or have the bodies that we do.
Even if our master is kind and understanding, they may have no choice but to return us to storage, display, or wherever it is that broken weapons are discarded to.
Consider it presumptuous of me - but I would rather like a way to let each of us have one final choice about what becomes of us. If they would like to become human, to live on in our current bodies, or to retreat without a battlefield into whatever state of non-living they would like.
Then you have my thanks for taking my request into consideration. I suppose lately I have merely been entertaining the idea of what it might be like to seek more than what my steel was originally forged for.

Makes sense. If I end up being the one to decide, I'll remember that.
no subject
[gently points that out
but also]
... even so, I trust your judgment.
And I am sure that I would find a way regardless.
no subject
[although promises don't mean much.]
Yes, you can be rather stubborn in your own way.

[WAS THAT A COMPLIMENT]
It would be concerning if steel were to bend so easily. What good is a weapon without integrity?

I wonder.
I do not have a charge as you do... perhaps I would simply like to spend my days at my master’s side until he no longer sees a need for me.
[though he hadn’t mentioned him before this either...]
Or perhaps I will enjoy the chance to take a walk and admire the blooming flowers.
Or... pay respects and visits to old friends.

[he turns to shess curiously]
If you truly have the ability to shape a universe that you desire, is there anything you would wish for yourself?
no subject

In truth, it is a question that I would like to pose to all of you.
Even if it is not meant to be, I like to know what worlds you would all dream of, if you got the chance to shape them to your will.

[well that sounds like a fun philosophical thing to talk about]
Is there nothing more that you want out of your life?
no subject
I guess I have trouble imagining a feasible wish.
no subject
Oh...? Then do you have an infeasible wish in mind?
Or does something bind you from dreaming of what you desire without limit?

[if mikazuki had to hazard a guess about what might be making it harder for shess]
Could you not give yourself a simple temporary reprieve?
no subject
[it's not fighting for the world that's the hard part.]
no subject
May I ask where the difficulties lie?
[he’s always here to lend shess an ear okay
with the time they have left anyway]
