Wow, there's an awful lot of bitterness in there, and I do believe I hear regret in there somewhere.

If your not regretting the choices you've made, then you sure project it a whole lot better then a spotlight on top a police building. And you'd also be lyin' to yourself - we all got regrets.

And man, I got bounties too. Probably bigger then yours - we can compare them and see which ones bigger, because were both manly men. And I'm sure we both earned them too.

As for all that complaining about getting shot at - you obviously dont like being shot at - maybe you choose the wrong path in life, Jake. I may regret being a pirate, and I may be out to change my life for the better, make up for all the blood on my hands, try and help folks - but dude, I never complained about being in the bullseye - being shot at comes with the territory.

As for taking a side? Whose to judge which side is any more valid then the rest? Whose to say your own side is any more a worthy cause then the trigger happy military, or the cutthroat criminals?

Nah man, I can feel the negative wave your dishing out - its clear as day. I know your alone out there buddy, and I know your scared, and I know the job you took sucks sometimes, may a lot of the time.

But its all good man - I got the secret that will save you...make you happy again...

You listening? Heh, alright - here it is...

Quit. Simple as that. It may sound bad, and I know your recoiling at the idea right now - your goin "I aint no quitter" and falling back on stubborn pride, and thinking about all those folks who NEED your help, and stuff. Truth being man, I can see you dont like this. So tell ya what. Take up the Danny challenge. Spend at least one year of your life out of this mess - find a nice girl, settle down, get a house in some lovely little planet somewhere - like Gran Canaria. Just take a break from it. I guarantee you...youll be a happier man.

But who knows. As I said, we all make choices - youve made yours - no matter how much it seems that you dont like them.

And Jirent? Your hair is lovely, dont let anyone tell ya different,

Hehe.
