... In my time, there'd been some major changes and betrayals. A man named Itou and his group ambushed us after.... after Heisuke Toudou betrayed us. Aburakouji... the base was on fire, and we were trapped there, surrounded. A lot of our men were dead. I made the decision. I told Sano to lead them out. They tried to defend the code, but damn it... it wasn't our code, Okita-san! It was changed! We were falling apart... We were dying. What's the point in our code, our way of living, if there's none of us left?
I wasn't about to let the people I was meant to be responsible for die out when I could do something about it!
... I really don't care... if I end up being sentenced to seppuku. I'll take my punishment. I only promised Sano I'd survive the incident. If my orders saved them, that's all that matters to me.
