...I know that I come off as unapproachable -- if not cold, however it’s more of an instinctive reaction than anything else… In a way, I’ve forgotten what it takes to get close to someone. It wasn’t necessary back then.

For that reason, I never would have expected that I'd come to regard either of you as anything more than field associates. For

... I've been thinking of leaving. For a while. You know. ... Maybe not.

[letslip]

But I can't make up my mind. I don't want to. But I didn't know how you felt about me staying.

[contractorly]

I appreciate your company, Carmine - I would have said something earlier if I had caught on. I'm oblivious sometimes.

Then let me ask you: Will you stay with us, Carmine?

[letslip]

I'd like to.

I'll be honest, too, even if the woman's curse day passed.

I'd miss it.

[contractorly]

....

It's a curse.

[contractorly]

...I prefer being an anomaly, you know.

[to_sublimate]

That was my first t--fuck.

[contractorly]

It was my first t-dammit..

[to_sublimate]

I don't believe it was your first time. It was very go--

You didn't hear anything.

[contractorly]

You weren't bad yourse--

[contractorly]

...I don't know if I can do any better.

[contractorly]

I'll try my best.

[ginironosora]

I really would like to be your friend.

[contractorly]

As would I. Though, I warn you, Gintoki.

...I'm not exactly a good person.

[ginironosora]

I'm not either. I've killed a lot of people-- amanto and regular alike. If that's okay with you...

I mean. I've changed. But it doesn't erase what I've done.

[contractorly]

Nearly everyone I knew back home was a killer in their own right, Gintoki - and it'd be hypocritical of me to hold it against you.

...What did you fight for?
