[buzen's voice is soft, but certain as he reaches a hand out to touch vax's arm. a connection, something certain he can hold onto with this solid, almost human touch. to get his attention, and maybe to reassure him]

[he's been wondering how much to say - but it seems his comrades have beat him to it in some spots, so he goes on to explain:] This body was summoned by my master, so that we could protect history in a war against those who want to change it. When our job is done, we don't know what will happen to these bodies - but I imagine there won't be any more need for us.
... But I want the war to be over, because it will mean that we have protected what we were meant to protect. That's my purpose as a weapon. I'm not selfish enough to put others in danger, just to exist.
[perhaps that was what made the hatred so foreign to him. buzen gou exists for others. the idea of killing them to protect himself for petty reasons? it's as opposed to his core as you can get.
so he will protect this history, even if he may not truly exist in it. it is still worth it, to him.]
... but thank you. For thinking I could be worth it. People like you... make me really glad I got to be here at all.
