I suppose it is only a matter of what you might be able to live with... but there is a hypocrisy - in believing that you get to choose the ways in which you will hurt the people you wish to protect most.

"Don't make the same mistake I did." "I would like to see to it that you do not walk a similar path to myself."
but that's a bit difficult now, isn't it?]
...I will take your words to heart and carry them with me, Mikazuki-san. But it's as you say. We cannot always choose the way in which things happen to protect the people we care for most. [a beat.] But thank you.
