[It is a possibility, though one he hasn't entertained in some time, that for whatever reason, his wish may not be granted after all. And if that were to happen...

Well. First he would target Davy Jones and get revenge somehow, but after that... no, he doesn't know. He'd be back at square one. Listless and purposeless. It's a horrible thought.]

Making excuses to -- ?! Shut your mouth at once, or...

[Mitsunari is seething. But in spite of his outrage, Motochika's words bring something to mind, and it is the promise he himself made to Motochika that he would try and live his life. It's too late to take that back.

And he wisely makes the decision to cut short what he was saying before he says something else he can't take back.

What does it take for Mitsunari to let go of the dead? Perhaps if he'd never heard of the Piedra Roja he'd have had no other choice. Its supposed powers have given him hope, but at the same time, the gem's existence has set him up for even greater disappointment in the long term.]

...No... I don't give a damn about moving on! I want for my life to return to the way it was before Ieyasu committed betrayal! That is all!

[Finally, Mitsunari stops threatening Motochika with his sword and slams it back into its sheath. His hands are shaking.]

There is your answer, Motochika!
