(To Jyugo) "You truly are empty. There was no point to your jail breaking from the start, no objective or ulterior motives. It wasn’t even for fun.You’ve never really wanted anything.You have no greed whatsoever. I’m saying, weren’t you simply happy to have an objective? That's why you escaped from prison over and over, to prolong that objective. People who don’t have greed just watch the time go by.People like that get stimulated once they find even the smallest opportunity or objective.You came this far for your own satisfaction, then you led yourself by hiding the truth one you realized the true nature of those shackles. You don’t even realize that this is because you continue to do things halfheartedly. It's gone way beyond the scope of mere self satisfaction. It's too late to act after the fact. Idiot, you came this far because you didn’t have the resolve to do that. I swear, even when you’re being sincere, you’re so immature, it's ridiculous. Nothing will change by running away. If you run, you’re free, I guess if you discard everything you’ll be at peace. You think it's okay to just run away from everything? Don’t be a spoiled brat. What's the point of simply running away?"
