You made me New Japan's guardian. You were my author. But I also had a mother. A human mother. You discarded her. But before she died, she gave me what you will never have. Compassion. Human understanding. The will to live free. You invite me into your home? This isn't your home. This is my home. This is our home. And you're no longer welcome in it.
