“—Deberías saber lo que es la igualdad. Atiéndeme: todo el mundo nace igual. El trabajo de tu padre en el Gobierno de la prefectura no te otorga ningún derecho a privilegios especiales. No eres distinto a los demás. Escuchadme todos —dijo Sakamochi—. Todos vosotros tenéis historias y pasados distintos y personales. Desde luego, algunos de vosotros provenís de familias acaudaladas, otras de familias pobres. Pero circunstancias que están más allá de vuestro control, como las descritas, no deberían determinar lo que sois. Todos vosotros debéis ser conscientes de lo que sois por vuestros propios medios. Así que, Kyoichi, no pretendas convencernos de que eres alguien especial… ¡porque no lo eres!”

soidisant
crusaders of the schismatic Orders, founded to fight the hordes, but turned to random pillaging and sectarian strife. Neither the nomads nor the Military Order of San Pancratz would have valued the abbey's books, but the nomads would have destroyed them for the joy of destruction and the military knightsfriars would have burned many of them as "heretical" according to the theology of Vissarion, their Antipope.”
