Come gather ’round people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone.

If your time to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changing...

"That is...most unfortunate," he replies, "but if that is what must be, then that is what must be. I will continue independently my efforts to push for peace, but alone my chance of success is minimal."

He stands and bows once more.

"If the decision has been made, though, I will take up no more of your time."

Suiminko returns the bow. "Have a pleasant evening, Soshi-san. I hope the rest of your evening is pleasant."
