He always had that strength. He was always destined for incredible things. Everything that's happened is because of him, everything that could happen that he's always hoped for is because of him.
He's the one that should be thankful. If he'd never found him, if they'd never met...
Makishima leans in close without warning, and wraps an arm around Onoda's shoulder in a tight embrace.]
