[ Susato softens. The thought that he will be remembered fondly is a comfort for sure, though that doesn't make him any less gone. ]

In a way, I feel it is my job to ensure he is remembered that way. Though perhaps "job" is not quite the right word...?

[ Definitely an obligation, though. Even if it's a self-imposed one. ]

Either way, I will make sure his work is in good hands, even if it can't be my own. [ If only Rei were here. ]
