You've no guarantee at all that will happen! Is that why you've been stewing this whole time? Because you've convinced yourself you won't have to move on when you return? Who's to say it isn't going to happen again when it's already happened once before?
[He can't leave things with that question. He knows Mitsunari is confident enough in his ability to change the course of history that thinking on that question isn't going to change anything.]

[And despite his own complaints about damage to his ship, he punches the rail out of frustration. In a way, it's a blow to his ego, but it also cuts deeper than that. His crew is his family and he wants to ease their suffering in any way he can, but Mitsunari doesn't want his suffering eased, as far as Motochika can tell. He doesn't want to write him off as a lost cause. He's only ever done that with one man and it was painful even then, even though he had every right not to see it that way.]
