[Sayo pauses. What was life like outside of the citadel and the collection? He got a glimpse through the technology they have like "TV shows" and pictures.]
It's different from my old life. It's like being here, but not as many robots and bright lights. But... I don't usually leave the citadel if I don't have a mission.
[His old life before the collection and the army. Being just a sword and a sword with a human body are two, distinctly different life for him.]
... I never thought about it. I usually stay with my brothers or follow Master's orders. I haven't thought of leaving the citadel for any other reason.
I see. [If she was in his place, she'd have taken every chance to explore...but she supposed that was what she would have done and he must have his own reasons.]
So you were not curious about it. [She's quiet for a moment, trying to wrap her mind around the thought of someone who wouldn't be curious of the world outside. She's learned something new and the thought has her smiling again.] What was the citadel like, then? Surely you must have spent a lot of time there?
[Describing the citadel? Sayo blinks, before he nods and try his best.]
The citadel's... big. Very big. [He's trying.] We have a lot of space and room, but almost everyone share a bedroom in groups. I shared mine with my brothers.
[And continues to do so here.]
But... we have enough land to farm food and take care of the horses. So there's always work for us if we don't get deployed to the front lines.
[Sayo nods and thought for a moment. He guess he can tell her.]
Yes, we do. We farm so we wouldn't go hungry and we can ride out on horses into battle. [Mainly for the slower swords. A lot of the faster swords can fight on foot.] ... As for where we were deployed to, it's to Japan in the past.
[There's more to life than being a tool. He heard that before, but he haven't completely reach his answer.]
I don't what else is there for me. What I... [What he wants? A quiet life, undisturbed by his past. But that seems so unlikely for him.] ... can do instead.
What do you wish to do? What are things that you enjoy doing?
[He didn't have to force himself to find something right this instant. And as far as she was concerned: he was allowed to change his mind as many times as he wanted until he figured it out.]
Then that is all right, is it not? Think of ways to make them happy, learn with them, talk with them, and I am sure you will find something that you like to do other than that.

[Veronica would have said "is" and still does whenever she talks of the people she knows back in both her own world and Holly Heights.]
I see. It is all right if you do not know. I can find out.

And why did you not leave the citadel? Did you not wish to?

[Or at least, that's her opinion on it.]
You had horses? And a farm, as well? Where were you deployed to?
Re: Action
Yes, we do. We farm so we wouldn't go hungry and we can ride out on horses into battle. [Mainly for the slower swords. A lot of the faster swords can fight on foot.] ... As for where we were deployed to, it's to Japan in the past.
[Time travel!]
Action
[So swords could get hungry too.]
You went to the past? How? Why?
Re: Action
[
Read: Still waiting for solid info about it.]We went back to the past because there are enemies who wants to change history... So we fight and stop them.
Action
Enemies who are also from the future?
Action
Yes... at least, they want to change the past, so they have to be from the future as well.
[It's the only logical explanation he can think of.]
Action
[That does make sense.]
Why did they wish to change it?
Action
[All he was needed to know was they they need to preserve history as they know it.]

[It's been asked of him before, but he haven't directly answer it before. He's always so uncertain of what he wants, and if he can put it into words.]
... I know I like being with my brothers and Master. And spending time with everyone.
