For ten years, I had wandered.
Travelling through this beautiful land.
Seeing faces filled with joy and contentment.
Leaving behind my past
And shedding my old self.
Battousai, the man who lived in the shadows,
Is no more.
In his place, is Himura Kenshin,
A wanderer.
It was lonely,
But it was worth it.
To see the new era that I'd helped built.
By blood.
Violence and deaths.
An era of peace and hope.
The sunny smiles of men and women,
Without a trace of underlying fear.
The hope of a peaceful future.
The joy of living in a better time.
It was worth it.
I am content.
Even though no one knew
About who I was,
It is alright.
This should be the way too.
Better to be ignorant,
Than to know the horrors
Behind the establishment of this era.
It is a little lonely,
Walking alone,
But that's how it is.
