It's what I do now, Akira. [She'll still speak to him, even if his Shadow is out and about.] It's the path I chose when I decided to save myself. I'll put all the knowledge I gained from my sins towards making the world better for the people I was born to kill.

Dealing with your Shadow like this instead of fully accepting it is giving up. Deciding it's better for the world to burn is giving up. You're the one who's quitting right now, Akira - but I won't accept that. I'll push everyone to the end if I have to.

Including you.
