[The spirits of fellow samurai from ages long past emerge]
Great warriors of past, I welcome you. This samurai has failed his purpose and has accepted his fate.
[Still in a trance, Jack raises a sword, ready to take his own life; while Ashi watches in horror]
[runs to Jack] Stop!
[backhands Ashi] This does not concern you. There is no hope.
[starts to stand up] No! Hope lives. It is everywhere. I have seen it! Everyone you have touched, the people you have helped! You saved them!
Enough! Hope is just a fleeting sentiment. Your failure is real. You must face the consequences or continue to bear the guilt of your dishonor for all eternity.
Jack, don't listen! You're being misguided! I've seen it! You saved countless innocence, but most of all...you showed me the truth! You made me see that there is so much more to me than I knew existed! You made me way more than what I was! [she is desperate now] THE HOPE YOU GAVE ME SAVED MY LIFE!
Death follows in your wake. Men, women, children. Yes! All those children dead because of you!
No! The children! THEY'RE ALIVE! You saved them!
NO MORE WORDS!
