Immanent

A new, young samurai arrives at the central castle of the Uesugi clan. Drama, I-3

Echizen Ryouma had been in Kasugayama for a week, and one of Uesugi's warriors for three and a half days, before he ran into trouble.

The voice. I think that's what I like best about this piece - the voice is so quintessentially Echizen. It has his nonchalance and that hint of cockiness. It sounds a tad older than his canon personality, which is perfect considering that he /is/ older in this context. I love that line about how the trouble started - not for Ryouma, not yet.
