"Do you have any idea what he was going to do? He was about to murder 97% of humanity. Just like 400 years ago when he almost destroyed Japan. I thought you had changed. I'd hoped you changed. I'm still a fool, aren't I, Kensei? I keep believing you."
His eyes shift to Jack for a moment. "Yes, what I did was reprehensible and I'll regret that for the rest of my short life. He killed my father. I promised otosan I'd avenge him. He knew he was going to die, Kensei. That's how I knew what you'd done - I was there, and I was there 30 years ago when they incarcerated you. But I still wanted to believe that you'd changed. But I knew as soon as Nathan told me you'd killed that woman what you had in mind."
He's desperately trying not to let anything other than anger out. Anger will keep the distance. Anger will make him untouchable.
