Something the Boss always told people before he kicked their ass was 'It's time to count up your sins.' [Flick of the wrist and pointing his finger.] If you've made bad decisions in your life, it's a man's job to make amends for them. Not just die because of them.

"Boss"? [ Akira's brow furrows. ] There's no way to make up for what I've done. My victims aren't exactly here for me to apologize to.

Sokichi Narumi, hard-boiled detective. I used to be his apprentice. It's not just apologizing. It's making up for the tears you caused the world.

Haah... [ He leans back and stares up at the ceiling. ] Where would I even start?

[tanteiotaku]

I can't tell you that. For me it's picking up where the Boss left off. You'll have something else.

[ Some way to make up for what he's done. Akira shakes his head slowly. It seems impossible. ]

'80% of a man's life is based on the decisions he makes. Everything else is just extra.'

[aplacetodie]

[ So it's up to him what he does, in other words. ]

When you say you're picking up where your boss left off, what does that include?

[tanteiotaku]

His cases, his legacy, and most importantly, the partner he left for me to take care of.

So for you, making up for what you did just means being an ace detective.
