... they mean well, don't they? When they tell you to rest, when they keep you somewhere because they think that's what's right - [whether you're waiting for death or for a master that you never agreed to] - but that's still just what they want. They won't have to be the ones who have to live with being told to patiently wait, however long that is, for whatever is coming.
[He raises both of their hands up, just so that he can kiss the back of Souji's hands without hesitation.]
But if these hands have something else they want to do - if your legs have somewhere else that you want to go, if it means living on your own terms....
