This takes place before Kaoru's first meeting with Kenshin in the Anime. A cool breeze gently ruffled his fiery red hair. The fresh budding of the vegetation all around told him that nature had finally awoken from its slumber.
Spring is here.
Since the Meiji Restoration about 10 years ago, the Japanese people had hopes that Japan will be more democratic as promised by the new Meiji government. People who had taken high positions in the government during the Reformation did not seem to be making any progress to give any power to the common people in government decisions . Power, wealth, and the greed for more began to affect many of these top officers, and so the new government is starting to look as if it hadn't changed all that much from before. All those people who sacrificed their lives during the conflict would have been greatly disappointed at the little progress the government had taken over the years. It turned out to be a mirror of some sort.
