mizu saying a broken sword fits taigen makes me feel insane- like. she did that sword. she caused that sword to be broken because she was 'impure'. that sword got stolen by a liar. later, that liar found her and hurt her with it. and then she earned the sword. but she still doesn't love it. to her, it's a solid proof of her impurity, her flaw.
then, she gave it to taigen. taigen helped her to escape, saved both of their lives with it. taigen, who once pointed out her impurity and harmed her because of it, used the same impurity to protect her.
and she admitted it. she said, "the broken sword fits your hand." maybe she thought, one day taigen will kill someone in order to protect himself with this sword, and it'll be me who saved him, my flaw saved him. taigen will know that too :)
