—Yes. I will kick them out. It won't be the same, but as it should be. [ His answer is, unsurprisingly quick. Perhaps it was to protect his pride and the work that he had devoted himself to; throwing away his identity into something that will always and forever be tacked onto the title of "criminal." He knew this was something that Sakamoto's views have always been screwy with in his opinion, but Katsura stood firm on his passion to reform Japan back to it's old ways.

He wouldn't sugar coat it for Sakamoto and will step on his toes if he needs to. ]
Any samurai who agrees with them and finding that it is simply fine of what they are doing is a coward. Do they not realize what they are doing?

Who do they think they are, anyway? We had an agreement with them; to open up trade. Not have our country re-positioned for their own benefit and have ourselves stripped of our culture. It makes me feel vulnerable and ashamed.
