You're just feeling sorry for
yourself because you can't
change. ...Humph. Pathetic.

...Say what you will.
I will walk my own path.

I probably would've said
the same thing when
I was still in Aspio.

I have no intention of
betraying who I was.

I'm not ashamed of
who I was, either.

I am the person I am now
precisely because of who I was.

We don't just change. We
continue on from that point.

Such wishful thinking...

Humph. Call it whatever you want.

So? Are you gonna give up, or not?

I will press on with my
own path for as long
as I have strength.

Too bad...

I have no regrets.
I will die for that end.
My friend...grant me your strength!
