[Kashuu has always been one of the most loyal swords to their master. If he can take him out here and now, and if he can slay the others that are still fighting - that accomplishes two things. It saves him from being trapped in this existence full of blind loyalty to the master that uses them as disposable tools, and it lessens the guard the saniwa will have back in the citadel.
Midare can go back alone. Even if the master goes to the forge right away, there's no guarantee the blacksmith will give him Kashuu; he'll have plenty of opportunities to stain his own steel with the saniwa's blood.
He isn't able to stop Kashuu from scooping up his vessel. He knows another strike or two will shatter him; he can't allow himself to break just yet.]
You're all stuck like this, you know? Stuck...
[He sighs wistfully.]
I just want to save you. If that form breaks, you can be reborn somewhere else, maybe even to a master that really loves you.
