| “ | Watch me, Big Bro. The flecks of my enemy's blood that stain this suit. They're my pride and joy. This suit looks white because of the red of the blood on it. That's why I fight. For you, Big Bro. The awesomely insane. To make you awesomely happy... Whether at Aogiri or Goat, I've fought at the very front lines. All the way. And towards the end, I even learned a few new words. Yep. I had fun. If only I had known a few more words. I'd have been able to talk to you more, Big Bro. I think about that, sometimes. I... I don't think just living is that big of a deal. I really believe I'll be able to see you, if I die. So I'm not scared. Death isn't that bad. Pretty crazy, right? Shousei... Hooguro... I guess I won't be seeing y'all for a bit. I hate the fact that I lost, though. But, you know, Bro. I... I'm not sad at all. | „ |
