Do not apologize for any of this, Tseng. It was not your fault that he was there, nor was his request. The blame for this lies solely with me, as he was a responsibility that I should have taken care of long ago.
If given the chance, I would make the same choice again. Perhaps it reflects poorly on how seriously I take my position, but I value your life far more than I value a building or my pride. I am not sorry for that.
Sir, it is unrealistic to take the blame for someone who we all know would not have done anything otherwise. The mere fact that I was used in his dealing is what sickens me and I merely feel it my responsibility to never be a burden to you. Which I ended up becoming.
.. Rufus. You can't mean that. You are stronger than anyone I have seen. I am honored you would think of me as such.
You are not a burden. Far from it, in fact. You are the best Turk I have ever had the honor of employing. Please do not let what Hojo has done cause you any ill feelings. He is not deserving of that sort of power.
I say nothing I do not mean. Except perhaps for that bit of nonsense about ruling the world through fear a few years ago. But I shall take the liberty of blaming that idiocy on the immaturity of youth, if that is all right.

... yes, sir. Thank you. I am grateful you think as such.
And that is all it was, Sir. You cannot blame yourself for mistakes in the past when you have already corrected them.
