[ Oh, million dollar question. He's not sure he can explain it in any way that does his reasons justice, and I sure cannot wrangle words together at 1:30am, so Kano just falls quiet for a moment, before speaking up. ]

He breathes a laugh, a shuddering breath. It'll be fine. His existence is that he's more of an enigma than a person— whatever happens tomorrow, nobody will have to feel bad that they killed him. They don't know who "he" is, after all, truth and lie mixed and muddied. Like this is fine. ]
