A Friend To All Is A Friend To None

If this is your first chapter opening this series, please look to Chapter 0 - Why Do I Wanna Fly? to start properly.

Scene: Jinko has arrived at Shirakawa-go and the village is heavily covered in snow. (The rest of his family had arrived earlier as they migrated a day before, which he was reluctant to do himself).

Jinko: Sheesh *gets off of Saru*  this takes me back, the gasshō-zukuri  here is unforgettable.

*deep inhale*

Oh and the soothing air free of all naught, I really missed you Shirakawa-go.

Right then, time to get down to actual business and find where Mom and Dad ar-
*unsheathes sword immediately*
*2 swords clash*
*the Tsuka-ito colours of the 2 katanas are polar opposites*

*smirk*
Haven't lost an edge you have, Pinko.

Jinko: Yo- You're...

DANJIKI!!

Danjiki: Hysterical timing you have to start a sentence with stuttering, surprised you did I?
Jinko: Forget about that, you still talking backwards like you're a character from your favorite caricatures huh?
Danjiki: Oh you've caught me, looks like your memory is still sharp as the scar I left on your shoulder. *nods head*
Jinko: STOP THE SATIRICAL ACT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID.
Anyways, what are you here for, Danjiki.

Danjiki: What do you mean? I live here.
Jinko: You live in Ainokura.
Danjiki: Oh please I had my reasons to abandon that shithole of a village.
Jinko: What..? You're kidding right? Ainokura is beautiful and remote, it's the perfect place not even the Meiji officers look there.
Danjiki: You don't need to give me an essay about my own birthplace you fool.
Jinko: Then if you already acknowledge how much Ainokura is praised for its traits, why do you call it a shithole?
Danjiki: My reasons are confidential. I think sharing them with the likes of you is a time wasting activity.
Jinko: Danjiki.. spill it out... who was killed?
Danjiki: hah. You think somebody was killed..? I don't share loser-like relatives as you who throw themselves to the face of death for a revolution of the regime they themselves had once brought in.

*Jinko remains silent in a locked gaze*

Danjiki: The reason I left... is different. It's selfish but necessary.
Jinko: Danjiki...

Danjiki: The reason I left..

IS CAUSE THEY STOPPED SELLING MABU SODAS!!!!!

Jinko: WHAT?? ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?!
Danjiki: WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW?? THOSE CARBONATED BUBBLY-BUBBLY AROMAS CONFINED WITH THE LEMON-EY TASTE ASCENDING YOU TO HEAVEN IS A DRINK ONLY THE ELITE TASTEBUDS KNOW HOW TO APPRECIATE.
Jinko: YOU'RE FUCKING WITH ME, YOU'RE ONLY EVER FUCKING WITH ME!!
Danjiki: I'M DEAAAAD SERIOUS WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO CUT YOUR THROAT OFF TO PROVE IT TO YOU I WILL DO IT RIGHT NOW.
Jinko: AS IF YOU COULD DO THAT YOU BASTARD.
Danjiki: BRING IT ON THEN.
Jinko: I HAVE FAR BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN PRIORITIZE A GUY ABANDONING A VILLAGE FOR SODAS.
Danjiki: DARE SAY THAT AGAIN TO MY FACE YOU WILL.

*the rest of the migrated villagers moving their luggage, stand by to watch this scenario unfold.*

Jinko: Well alright, I gotta go find my parents and settle in my luggage so I'm leaving.
Danjiki: Hm, do as you will.

*They both start walking with their backs facing each other*
*Jinko stops walking. Hearing the stoppage of footsteps in the snow from Jinko, so does Danjiki*

Jinko: Say, you still like Marumaru Chinbun?
Danjiki: Hah, If you need to see any of the newer pages let me know, you fool.

*Jinko smirks*
*They start walking opposite sides again*

Jinko thinks to himself: Jeez what a nut-head, but I'm honestly glad he's still alive.

That makes me wonder...

How are those guys doing?
