[Blake's not really used to anything he says making anybody feel better.

This kid has to know that it's not his fault. That's important. He can't do a damn thing to hurt the son of a bitch who did this to him, but maybe he can point his hate in the right direction.

Blake shakes his head.] A real court wouldn't be kind, either. I wouldn't be put under for it, but...yeah, if I didn't have people on my side, I'd get put away for a long time.

[He's always known that. It's different to say, though.

The kid should know the truth.]

I've hurt a lot of people bad, Ishimaru. And there wasn't any gun to my head.
