She has the power to change what she thinks is wrong - from Can't Change Me by Chris Cornell
Regardless of how things have changed, at least in people's knowledge, Hajime hasn't shown signs of changing a bit. He still mostly lives between the training facilities, his room for sleep and cleanliness purposes, and his personal shrine, more or less in that order. He's at the latter currently, speaking silently with his ancestors.

The professional poker face comes quickly.

"Please excuse my mistake," she says, her voice flat and even, because she won't let it tremble.

"And I am afraid that I cannot lose you" because you're my friend and I'd have killed you like I kill so many I care about "as a national asset at this time." Cool, smooth. "We will continue the pursuit, but when justice is done, you will await further notice before doing anything that would remove you from my service."

There's only the briefest of pauses before he bows, and his demeanor never shifts.

"My family has failed one daimyo. So close to clearing my family's name, and our shame, and letting them rest, we will not fail another. It will be as you say.

To live is to serve. And no apologies are necessary. From you, not ever."

Shame. There's that cognitive dissonance again. And she's ordering him to live with it, make his clan live with it.

She hates herself, but she keeps her mouth shut.

She'll find a way, somehow, to fix this.

"Of course. Thank you for your time, Hajime-san. I will continue to keep you appraised of the leads on the killer."

Any recrimination is on her. He shows no signs of blaming her. Perhaps its simply his family has waited this long, they will wait until this, too, is worked out. Until then, he will serve. He will be a samurai, and his life is not his own. His family would wish it that way.

"I thank you, Amiko-sama. I will be ready to go at any time."

Well of course it's on her. That's how she operates. How would he know to blame her? She has to do it for him.

She nods and, with appropriate decorum for the area, leaves, feeling powerless.
