The Art of Kintsugi was a virtual representation of one of Fujibayashi Naoe's genetic memories, relived through the Animus EGO.

Description

Naoe and Yasuke return to Iga.

Dialogue

Naoe arrived at the rice fields of Mibuno Vale.

• Naoe: [sighs] Iga. You'll always be home to me. Even like this.

As Naoe took a look around her former home, Yasuke joined her.

• Yasuke: Is it hard for you to be here? With me?
• Naoe: What do you mean?
• Yasuke: When you and I were... first here.
• Naoe: No. We've all taken actions we regret while wearing the cloaks of loyalty. All of us. I'm glad you're here with me, Yasuke.
• Yasuke: Still. I am sorry you lost your home.
• Naoe: You lost yours, too. At least I still have the pieces.
• Yasuke: I never... thought of it that way.
• Naoe: With the pieces... you can mend. Strengthen. Make something that was already precious even more so.

Naoe took out her tsuchibue.

• Naoe: Have you ever gotten a good look at the little tanuki's handwork?
• Yasuke: Kintsugi. It is beautiful.
• Naoe: Maybe it will be the same with our homes.
• Yasuke: I do not think we have enough gold for that.
• Naoe: We could bring Gennojo out of retirement. He's an excellent thief.
• Yasuke: It will never be the same, though.
• Naoe: No.
• Yasuke: How does it sound, the tsuchibue? After Junjiro mended it?
• Naoe: Even better. See for yourself.

Naoe handed the instrument to Yasuke, who tried to blow it but failed terribly.

• Yasuke: Perhaps "better" depends on who is playing.

The two laughed.

• Yasuke: [laughs]

Yasuke left as the two resumed on their objectives.

• Naoe: No shame in trying. But Yasuke should stick to swords.

Outcome

Naoe and Yasuke reminisced about a light moment with eachother.
