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...
Ryuko: SHUT UP!!! You killed him! You killed Tatsumi!
Senketsu: Ryuko calm down!
Ryuko: I don't care anymore! I'll kill her! I'll fucking kill her!
Just as she was swinging she felt a hand grab her foot. It was Tatsumi, he was able to survive Ragyo's punch and was still in the process of healing.
Ryuko: T-Tatsumi, you're still-
She's interrupted by Nui.
Nui: Wow you two are amazing! I always knew there was something special about you two but to be able to survive such blows. You two are the greatest!
Tatsumi uses Ryuko as leverage to pull himself back up, still very weak. He whispers to her.
Tatsumi: It seems like I messed up again Ryuko. I'm sorry that you put so much faith in a guy like me. You deserved far better.
Senketsu: Tatsumi, what are you doing?!
Before Ryuko could respond, Tatsumi grabs her and uses all the strength that he has left to throw her far away from either Ragyo or Nui. She reaches out to him for what feels like the last time.

Tatsumi: It's been great, being with you guys. I'm leaving the rest to you, Ryuko.
Ryuko: TATSUMI!!!
As she cries his name, explosions start going off around the arena, the last thing she sees was Tatsumi giving her a sad smile before being engulfed in the explosion.
-THE NEXT DAY-

Tatsumi woke up in a cell shirtless, he was chained up to a pillar with his hands tied with Life Fibers to make sure that he couldn't break them.
Tatsumi: I-I'm alive? How the hell did I manage that? Guess Incursio is more durable than I thought.
Ragyo walked into his cell room.
Ragyo: You never cease to amaze me Tatsumi, after all of that, you're awake the next day. You're perfect.
Tatsumi: I don't want to be called perfect by someone like you.
Ragyo: But we're the same you and I. I thought we went over this already, how we used people for our own gains.
