YAGORO – Hasekura Tsunenaga is being sent away because his own daimyō cannot stand the sight of him. He knows nothing of our order or our struggle. Why entrust such a thing to him?

FUJIBAYASHI NAOE – You are right, a low-ranking samurai would never be entrusted with an object of such high value. The Templars are on the hunt for Master Assassins. Even now, their forces follow us.

YAGORO – (sigh) You've already handed it to him.

FUJIBAYASHI NAOE – By the time our pursuers grow suspicious, the ship would be halfway across the ocean.

YAGORO – You place too much faith in that man.

FUJIBAYASHI NAOE – When Tsunenaga returns after many years, his lord will have hired new retainers. The samurai is desperate. He needs friends, allies in other clans.

YAGORO – Enough. It is too late to change things. Let us deal with our pursuers.

FUJIBAYASHI NAOE – I knew you'd come around.
