[All right. Yes. Good. Takatora is leading him. Back in Zawame, for Ryouma to have followed Takatora? Well, he had in the beginning ... before everything fell apart between them. Right now, however, to have Takatora guiding him? It's comforting. It gives Ryouma something to focus on. Yes. Okay. He works much better when he has steps to follow.

[Ryouma's voice sounds a little more calm and confident the longer he talks. Good.]
