You don't know what I've done either. It wasn't a simple murder.

[it wasn't a mafia but a freaking conspiracy to take over a nation, all cultivated because of a freaking god and his social experiment. organization that breathed the same air as yakuza, even if in total secrecy. Akechi had been the hit man of the cause, his list is long and red like the hunger years. And the deaths he caused were not pretty.]

Isn't pretending to be able to change just crueler, though? Dangling the hope in front of someone without being able to deliver? Wouldn't it just be better not to lie.
