[i aki don't want to make aikawa's life any harder than it already is but unfortunately i must be a cruel god for the sake of this journey.
Up the watchtower he goes! There are places to lodge a sword like the planks that make up the floor of this bird's nest, but that probably isn't solid enough to snap a sword without at least a little foot help. Between the leverage of the board and pressure from stepping on it, though, the sword will break and Aikawa will immediately end up on the shitlist of every Touken Ranbu. He now has a nifty terrible makeshift knife, though! The top five inches stay embedded in the planks of the floor, and he's left with the hilt and remainder of the blade.
From up here, he'll see several things.
1) The bird's nest itself is mostly empty, save an apparently abandoned Chassepot rifle and a partially opened knapsack with some food sticking out. Wow, this unit is sloppy as hell.
2) The dirt field is actually quite large, about triple the size of the barracks. It's hard to make out much detail in the dark, but this close and this high up, the faint smell of organic decay and blood wafts to Aikawa on the wind blowing from that direction.
3) The majority of the pursuers head out in the direction of the forest where Aikawa had first come from, with a few others heading to the forest left of the building and the dirt field right of the building.
4) This is the watchtower, so of course some people are heading over to use it in order to Spot! That! Fugitive! Except it's a pretty small watchtower, so only two guards are heading this way, trailed by a third who's holding a brighter torch.]
