To be fair, the ballad itself ended in relatively happy ending. The movie I watched though:

- It has scene where she desperately looking for edible food and clean water due to running out of supplies while she responsible to take care of injured soldiers;

- It has scene where she resort to under-handed tactics like assassination and spreading rumors, opposite to usual depiction where she's a genius who often come up with out-of-the-box tactics.

- The epilogue. Her father died due to sickness. Her mother died due to overworked. Her sister worked far away, so they didn't need to sell the asset (house) following imperial order. Her love interest forced to do political marriage thanks to the war outcome.

The scene of her telling, "This is the best for us" to her love interest while audiences can saw white strands of her hair also sleep-deprived eyes of her is cruel. I can says no one in theatre willing to accepted it as "good ending" compare to Disney ver. or another version that at least, still had her parents alive waiting for her.

As she made during EOR, I imagine her like this:



But 2018 introduced her to a role with voice exactly like how I wanted it:

Love her "love philosophy" 'dynamic' with her aunt (Kikuko Inoue, Scheherazade VA); wish I could come up with idea of another brokenmind characters for fun. LOL.

Its somewhat related actually as... when I wrote her back then, I got this "She must be voiced by Kana Hanazawa!" feeling. Her role as Matsuzaka Satou made me happy as it feels right even if this is just fanfic.
