Title: Lesson 546
Last Address
Author: Sorachi Hideaki
Sasaki: Kondou-san.

Page 4:
Sasaki: What is this......?
What do you think you're doing?
Kon: Relax.
I haven't helped you.
But could you help me?
Sasaki: ......What precisely are you talking about?
Kondou: It's too late to run now.
I have a lot of companions that can't move quickly.
A few dozen are hiding in the shadows of those rocks.
The ones in white in particular are complaining a whole lot, so I'm worried.
For real, what kind of training have they had? I'd like to see their commanding officer's face.

Page 5:
Sasaki: Are you being serious...?
You'd honestly take in your enemy's sounded soldiers even in a situation like this...?
Kon: Once they can't fight anymore, they're not enemies or allies.
This place is surrounded now.
So I'm wondering if there's any way to escape.
SFX: JYAKI
Sasaki: Even if I cannot fight anymore,
as your enemy, I still have the strength left to lop off your head.
The one that tried to crush you and your subordinates along with the entire country was me.
And your subordinates risked their lives by coming here to save you.
Are you saying you'll make all that go to waste in order to rescue some enemy soldiers and some soldier that are heading to their deaths?

Page 6:
Kon: .....No, that's not it.
Becuase if I abandoned them and I survived
then Kondou Isao would die.
What value is there in saving a general that abandons subordinates that got hurt for his sake?
If they risked their lives for me, then...
Then the Kondou Isao they believe in
has to risk his life to protect them.

Page 7:
Kon: The crown of the general isn't something on your head.
It's something that lies on top of everyone's ideals.
Sasaki: ........
It's those eyes.
I was captivated by those eyes
and so in an attempt to be a samurai
I became neither a samurai or a father anymore.
Sasaki Isaburou died long ago. The dead do not protect others nor do they have a self to protect.
Kon: ........Then
just where were you trying to go?
You, who lost everyone and tried to destroy everything,
where are you going with so much desperation?

Page 8:
Kondou: Even if it's just a tiny fragment of it,
I'm sure that somewhere inside you.....
there's still a need to protect someone, isn't there?
Haven't you realized it yet, Sasaki?
Right now, you......

Page 9:
Kondou: have a samurai's...... no
have eyes that are even like those of a father.
You're...
Sasaki: No need to say any more.
........
I don't know how it happened,
but the girl that had killed my wife and child,
that girl that I kept by my side as a tool for my revenge

Page 10:
Sasaki: was the last name that remained
in my empty address book...
...I'd intended to erase all of it.
But at the very end
I just couldn't bring myself
to erase that one name.
Screen: I'm coming to get you and Nobume.
Sasaki: ..........
It looks like that wasn't a good name to just assign to her on a whim.

Page 11:
Sasaki: But I figured that out
too late.
If I send it now, I do not think that email would be delivered.
Kon: .........
It ain't too late.
I'm sure your email
was delivered a long time ago.

Page 12:
Kon: Just as you tried to protect her,
I'm sure that she
is fighting to protect you, too.
So don't give up.
If we can just cut your way through here,
if we can just hold out through this,

Page 13:
Kon: I'm sure we'll be able to see them again.
