I never thought I'd have any problem moving back, you know? Leaving one place behind for another is something I'm just used to by now. Living well without getting close to others... That's the path I've followed all my life.
But tonight, looking around this room... Now empty of all my possessions... I find that I feel differently. The people I've come into contact with during my stay here - for better or for worse - have all helped shaped me into the person you see standing here today. Although it hurts to consider not seeing them as frequently as I've come to enjoy, I know they'll never be too far away.
[ Souji pats his chest, where his heart is. ]
It was an honor to serve as your leader, but more importantly as your friend. I know that we've somehow got more battles to fight in the coming day, battles we never expected or prepared for. But we've gotten this far, and I don't think one more bump in the road is going to stop us.
Tomorrow we'll reach out and finally grasp the truth, together.
