Saejima-san! Before you go. There’s one thing I want to know. Do you ever regret what you did? 25 years, wasn’t it? I know it was for your boss, but all that hard time had to make you think. Don’t you ever want to take it all back?

Huh. Lemme guess, you’re plannin’ something big yourself. And now you’re gettin’ cold feet. Regrets, huh? Can’t say I don’t got ‘em. I regret every life these hands stole that day. Eats at my soul nonstop. Still.. gettin’ sent to the slammer, doin’ all that for the boss… I don’t regret a speck of that. It ain’t strength. I’m just livin’ the life me and my bro chose to lead. That’s what bein’ a yakuza’s really about. People think we’re criminals or whatever. But every day I’m proud to be part of somethin’ bigger. Honor and duty. That’s what it all means. If I’d left that day without doin’ my duty… Well that betrayal would’ve gone against everythin’ I believe in. That’d really be somethin’ to regret. Kido-chan. Ya gotta go balls out. You only get one shot at hittin’ it big. So when the time comes for ya to put your life on the line… Givin’ it your all’s the only way. No lookin’ back. No regrets.
