[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

so. so fukuchi implicitly believes fukuzawa incorruptible or at the very least the one he trusts in most, by agreeing that dictatorships are poisonous and yet still entrusting him with one order. but the intro to fukuzawa’s backstory we get is that he ultimately was changed by the nature of the assassinations he undertook; that he quit because he was starting to enjoy the killing. the ability to remain impartial and resist corruption of being is tied to the ability to step back from power. to step down when you’re ahead. but fukuzawa can no longer do that can he.

#sorry. my thoughts are not well formed. also I cannot remember if there was something else to the entrusting one order thing #that gives a different connotation to fukuchi’s decision here #but from what I recall. he just trusts fukuzawa #hm. #bsd #storyrambles #bsd spoilers #bsd chapter 112 #bsd fukuzawa #bsd fukuchi #this is not to say I think fukuzawa’s going to undergo a corruption arc or anything #I think more likely it’s going to be more about grief guilt and bitterness over this role he was forced into #but still. things to think about.
