"I won't send her away. If she wants me to leave... then I'll leave."

He looked around at the front room. At Sojiro Sakura's house. "This is more her home than it's ever been mine. I have a family to go back to, and she's got people who love her back home. She's... brilliant. She's got a future doing anything she could possibly want and I've... already left that world behind. This was always going to be a temporary situation, and I've dragged it out longer than I ever should have because... because I'm a coward. I couldn't bear to see her hurt."

He leaned back, against the wall. "It's better this way. Maybe by arming her I can... save her mother. Wipe some of the red out of my ledger."
