[ Izō hadn't considered that. Jigokucho is a hell of a lot better than Hakagemachi had ever been...The problem is that Majima at least had unfinished business. Could he even go back, though...? Izō doesn't know. The only one who can answer that is Majima himself.

It's a nice thought. To be able to stay with his loved ones and what they built together...To have Ryouma close at hand again.

It's selfish, but who cares? He's allowed to be selfish, right? ]

I mean...I don't think Master'll want me back like this. [ A humorless laugh. Would he even be able to go back like this? Would he have all his memories? ] I'd rather stay here...Make sure no one gets hurt, be there with 'em...with ya. Nothin' t' worry 'bout but what's best for th' clan. Ain't a bad idea at all.
