."Do not underestimate me"
I am not as strong as you, I know. I am not as old, as wise, as determined, nor as hardened by this world or angered by its people. I haven't had the hardships you have, or the heartbreak. I didn't watch my princess, my lover die before my very eyes, or kill my own father. I didn't have to run away, I didn't have to fight my way to be a Knight. I've never been denied something because of my birth, rather, most things were given to me because of it. I've never had to choose between my friends and the right thing, or even have to choose between saving myself or someone else. I'm not the same as you, nor will I ever be. And sometimes, I'd rather not be you. But I'm still capable, still smart, still idealistic. I want to save the world just as much as you do, I want to protect the people I care for, and just because I'm not Japanese or of age doesn't mean I'm any less of a man than you are. I stumble over my own thoughts sometimes, and I'm not exactly the most eloquent guy, but you have to start trusting me. I am not you, Suzaku. I am not some hard-headed, stubborn, sullen man like you. I'm me, and Me is still a Knight of the Round. Me is still good at what he does, and loves doing what he does, and believes in himself. Me wants you to believe in him too.
Whether you choose to or not is up to you, but do not think I am any less of a person than you are.
