Ban knows that Ginji is better than him, not a cold-blooded killer. Raitei is like Ban. Ban understands Raitei. Ban would rip out Raitei's heart with glee, if he could find it.

Ginji knows Ban is better than him, no reckless destroyer. Ban protects, even when he has been hated and accused. Ginji was loved, despite his destruction. So many times, Ginji has wished they'd hate him, the way he deserved.

They lean on each other, drunks using each other to get down the path, slowly and crookedly, but still they move on. The past is far behind now.
