No. Lord Hideyoshi was dead when I found him. I failed to reach them in time.
["Them" being both Hideyoshi and Ieyasu. He likes to think he could have intervened had he been just a little faster, but if he were to have witnessed Ieyasu's betrayal right then and there, who knows? He may not have believed his own eyes. Because Ieyasu would never. He was no traitor, no matter how they disagreed...
He can't help but dwell on that day every time he's made to remember it. The crack of lightning that caught his attention, and the horrible sense of dread that followed him all the way to Hideyoshi's dead body. And then came the rain.
