A child's game. Something suited for a joker, a jester, a fool. Not a thief. Not a soldier. Not whatever it is you intend to make of yourself here. If you wish to be taken seriously, behave seriously. If you wish for me to smile, to not worry, to rely upon whatever it is you might learn rather than view you as a potential liability- drop the games. This isn't the time for it.

I'm not Goemon. I'm not Jigen. I don't know how you operate, or how you plan. But I do know what a man looks like when he's hiding and you are for whatever reason. I'm not saying you need to abandon what makes you great.
I'm saying you need to expand upon it. You want us to trust you, then you need to trust us in turn. It's not in your nature, it's not your way, but it is how things are going to have to be if you want this to work. If you want to find a way out, to find a way to get back at them for what they do to us here.
