Marco Russo embarks on a new relationship with his twin brother, Jacob, after a near-fatal accident leaves Jacob with verbal disinhibition: an inability to assess his thoughts before speaking them aloud. His remarks often spark anger in the people around him and cause endless embarrassment for Marco, who has taken on the role of Jacob's guardian and coach—a role that is further complicated when one of his co-workers falls head over heels for Jacob. With Jacob's latest job seeming to be a good fit for him, and with new relationships budding, the future seems to hold a hope for happiness—but that hope is shaken when one of Jacob's thoughtless disclosures leads to a series of shocking events.

When the Boshin War began in 1868, Japan was already modernizing, following the same course of advancement as that of the industrialized Western nations. The status of the woman warrior (Onna-musha) had already diminished significantly during this time period. Samurai were no longer concerned with battles and war, they were bureaucrats. Women, specifically daughters of most upper-class households, were soon pawns to dreams of success and power. The roaring ideals of fearless devotion and selflessness were gradually replaced by quiet, passive, civil obedience. In this short story, Nagisa seeks to uphold tradition and her honor against those that wish her to be nothing in life.
