Lord Hideyoshi was not supposed to have his life ended prematurely at the hands of a traitor.
[Hanbei's death was tragic and cruel and it will never strike him as anything other than unfair, but in Mitsunari's view, at least it's not betrayal. Of course, when someone dies from an illness, there is nothing to avenge. That's its own kind of cruelty.
His insistence aside, he doesn't move or protest when his shoulder is pat. He's gotten kind of accustomed to Motochika's Motochika-ness. It doesn't make him want to automatically try and, oh, bruise him in retaliation anymore.]
Lord Hideyoshi and Lord Hanbei are alive within my memories, and those cannot be ripped away from me. But it is not the same as seeing them in the flesh.
[Or hearing them in real time. Mitsunari looks at the bird he's presently holding in his hands. When it rusts and can no long "sing", he's going to be indescribably disappointed...]
