After the revolutionary war, Tatsumi was able to survive the fight with the emperor. No longer willing to stay in the Empire after seeing so much death, so he leaves in search for a new start in his life, and this journey starts with a girl named Ry...
Satsuki: Do I make myself clear, Mako Mankanshoku?
Mako: Aye aye Lady Satsuki, I like living so I won't question your words just please make sure to bring him back.
Satsuki: Why are you still here?
Mako: EKK! Okay guys we gotta go go go!
They speed out of the entrance and head towards the clinic at blazing speeds as Tatsumi gets up from his spot.

Tatsumi: What do you want from me?
Satsuki: I want you to tell me what I want to know.
Tatsumi: And what would that be?
Satsuki: The truth behind your past. All of it.
Tatsumi: Why so you could use it against me like your friend did.
Satsuki: Me and Nui are in no way, shape, or form allies. I honestly had no idea that she was going to be here. Besides, I already know that you're partially Incursio. As for why. I need to know why Nui knows so much about you.
Tatsumi: Listen I don't give a damn about what you already know. I'd much rather drop dead before I tell someone like you anything about me.
Satsuki: I had a feeling you'd say that so I'd like to offer a trade to you.
Tatsumi: The answer is no. I don't care even if you plan to give me Incursio. This is something far deeper than that. I'm not willing to betray Ryuko and the rest by giving you what you want. Not even for Incursio.
Satsuki: After embarrassing yourself like that you still intended on opposing me? Well in that case just know that the next time we meet, I will strike you down.
Tatsumi: Yeah sure. Is that the end because I don't think I can hold out for much longer.
Satsuki: Yes that is all. You are free to leave now, Tatsumi.
Tatsumi turns around and leaves the Honnouji Academy and heads down to an alleyway in the slums.
Tatsumi: 'So after all of that I once again fail to do anything of use. I got all of that strength, and for what? For me to almost kill a friend! What the hell is wrong with me! Did Incursio's influence get stronger!? How? Was it because I evolved? Or is it because I was too weak-willed to stop it...? Come to think of it, this is nothing new for me huh. Even back with Night Raid, I didn't do much of anything except watch my friends die. I never really thought about it since there was always another job to do, but now...'
Tatsumi decided to go to a place where he knew no one would see him or hear him. He later finds an abandoned factory on the outcast of the town and with nowhere else to go, he decided to walk in where he continued to think about his situation. About what Nui said, about what Satsuki said.
