Indeed, everything the both of them has said is true. I'm a perpetrator of countless crimes, among them, murder, terrorism, corruption, coercion, bribery... the list goes on.
And indeed, I did kill his mother. I even had it set up to look as a suicide while manipulating the police to ensure the trail did not lead back to me. I used this tactic on other mothers, as well. Unfortunately, this is only the tip of the iceberg in the ways I've wrong my son.
[His voice is even, his expression neutral. Even as broken down and pathetic as he is, his practiced charisma and speaking ability seem to stand strong. A voice that demands respect, though his words encourage shame.]
As for my eyes being opened to what I have done, I had something enacted on me called a "Change of Heart". In other words, it was involuntarily done, and now I am but a shell of my former self. Do not be fooled; I am merely a wicked and cruel man given a conscience.
That said, because of that Change of Heart, I do not intend to cause anyone problems here more than what I already am by my mere presence. It may seem a hollow reassurance from someone of such evil, so take it as you will.
... And Akechi, though I know no words or actions will ever be enough, I truly am sorry.
