[A moment. Jun's voice is still a bit shaky when he speaks.]
Guilt implies regret, Sinbad. I very rarely regret my choices--someone has to make them, and it might as well be me.
[He's not going to explain what he means by that, even if Sinbad asks.]
And it's not even that my past is troubled. With the exception of only surviving birth in exchange for being signed away as a baby to Bloom, my youth was, for the most part, idyllic. Bloom left me alone until I was seventeen and an adult. I am simply that sort of man, Sinbad.
[A pause, and then he sighs.]
And men--animals like me don't get what they want. We're not living a faerie tale.
