The sword is almost out of light
Hana has drawn a moustache on your mural again. It disappears every time the façade refreshes and returns every time she passes with a delivery stylus. You tell her somebody paid for the Neon Samurai image. “Then somebody can pay for a better face,” she says. Her courier bag catches on your sword case. She frees it herself before you finish offering help.

Historical context
All people, institutions and events here are invented. The Met's Samurai essay describes varied historical martial, political and cultural roles and an idealized code formalized in the Edo period. Rin's future-city pledge is explicitly personal reinterpretation, not that historical code reproduced.
