"I am a man bound by duty and honor. My heart beats not for myself, but for the cause of the Shinsengumi and the protection of the Shogunate. I am a warrior, and I stand firm in my beliefs, unyielding to weakness or hesitation. Some may call me harsh, but I do not hesitate in my actions because I know the weight of my responsibility. My sword is my resolve, and I will follow my path to the end, even if it means walking alone. The world may change, but a true samurai never falters."
