If I could take with me
even a single word in this vein,
1:43:05
it would be a comfort to Motome.
1:43:10
Was this not the most fitting gift
I could hope to take him?
1:43:16
Such were my thoughts,
1:43:19
but I see now it was nothing
but wishful thinking.
1:43:23
If you can see that,
then it makes the rest easy.
1:43:26
This world does not bend
to sentimental tales.
1:43:31
If you really think
that samurai honor
1:43:34
is ultimately nothing more
than a facade...
1:43:39
then you never had a chance
of swaying us.
1:43:46
So in the end,
1:43:48
these have been nothing but the
useless grumblings of a cranky old man.
1:43:54
But it does no good
to lament that now.
1:44:04
Well, then,
1:44:05
forgive me
for my long-winded recitation.
1:44:09
I will now proceed with the ritual.
1:44:16
Wait.
1:44:20
Before that,
1:44:23
I must return some items
that belong to this house.
1:44:48
For easier identification,
I have placed name tags on each.
1:44:53
Please examine them carefully.
