Find Him	Listen, Kuroda, I simply don't care. So what if he was one of the Sixteen Spears? If he fought at the side of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna? Both are decrepit has-beens; yesteryear's glories. This lone archer, this Uesugi dreg, cannot be allowed to keep haranguing our forces. The Niwa were enough to deal with, without a single man running amok through our territory - it's ridiculous. You have your orders. Find Nagano Saemon, and kill him. Don't make me say this twice. - Takeda Motoaki		Nobutsuna's Students
To My Son	I have measured the last decade in dream after dream. In some, I see you as you might have become - strong and noble atop your war horse, handsome as a snow moon. Others are simpler. You and I race through the grasses, as we did when you were young. Your head is pulled back in a laugh, but each time I reach for your hand, you remain just out of reach. Then I wake to the cold and bitter light of morning, and it begins again. The grief. The shame. How do I go on? I must go on. Yagyu Munetoshi, 1582	Mount Miwa
Farewell Yasuke	Yasuke, I write this trusting that you will live to read it. We lived simply, Nobutsuna sensei and I. We did not have much. What little was left with, I have spent on replanting his beloved bonsai. I am leaving to return our sensei's ashes to his home village. I do not know where I will go after that, but I shall not be returning to Azuchi. It has nothing left for me but ghosts, and a wound that will not heal. Perhaps we will meet again. Perhaps we will not. A thicket of summer grass is all that remains of the warrior's dream. - Marume Nagayoshi	Nobutsuna's House

Our mission is to avenge the fall of our Lord Harumasa, and I fail to see how cutting random peasants to ribbons will achieve any of this. Tell Shishimaru to rein in the bloodthirst, or I'll have to ask Yasokichi to calm him down with a teppo bullet between the eyes. He's on a bridge somewhere in northwest Engyoji, making a fool of himself. Go find him. That's an order.	Maruyama Shitsugen	Genzaburo's Soldiers
Letter from the Gobo Elder	Your transgressions will not remain unpunished. My people will know peace again. They'll know quiet. You call yourselves elite warriors. Heroes of war. Honorable men and women. There's honor in death, too. This, I promise you.	Sandanbeki Cave
