Kanna quietly continues to eat for the time being, deciding not to say any more than what she had to. As the female responds to her, she glances up for a moment, listening to her promise. Slowly but surely the black-haired female drops her stare back down, resolute in keeping her mouth shut for the time being. They'd both lost plenty of things, but as far as coping went it seemed like the Kotoshura had better coping methods for it. Kanna was naturally a sentimental individual, so it was no surprise things like this were quick to get to her emotionally.
She simply offers a nod once the female's done, then proceeds to sip on a little more of the wine and continue to eat a little bit.
"If you don't know what happened then I might as well tell you now. Me, Gin and a couple other Chuunin at the time were pushed to go on a mission. I'd just gotten out of the hospital after getting those threads I showed you. Basically I was declared the leader of the squad due to being considered the smartest, and after about a week's worth of preparation we headed out to the Land of Lightning. First thing we saw was a burnt town -- just, corpses everywhere. And after this beast flew overhead, we had an idea of what was the cause." She remarks, taking another sip of the drink.
"We arrived at the focal point of the violence and found out a woman had summoned it. She'd talked of religion -- asked us if we came to help her.. cleanse. Of course, Kirigakure had shown up at the time and attacked her immediately in response, and all the fighting started. Long story short, the entire squad with the exception of me and Gin died. They were incinerated -- there was nothing left but charred corpses. Like what happened to the previous victims of her assault. They wouldn't have died if I was a better leader. Or if I'd been better prepared. It all ended up being my fault in the end. We'd got the information on what was going on, but failed to resolve it."
