You wanted to preserve a beautiful heritage from a changing world to be, let be, in strict isolation. It might have lasted a handful of centuries. But you got greedy. You read our letter. Twenty years ago, my partners and me. And you said, "Yes."
What's the harm in a little trade? A small crack in the wall. All that vision, you couldn't see how little space a bullet needs. I couldn't discover a new world, so I'm gonna reveal one. My new shogun will break open your welded borders. Open Japan wide to the West. We'll flood your land with our people, our music, our shame, our bread and milk until you think an ugly face like mine more beautiful than your own.
