The truth of the matter is, I used
to paint in this room... and I did
it simply for the joy of painting.
No matter what I took as my subject,
my hands would move of their own
accord to capture its essence...
But back then, I only saw the
superficial beauty of the world.
I could not see the grime beneath.
After learning the truth
behind Madarame's actions
though, everything changed.

I strove to fight back against the
newfound ugliness I saw... To display
my talent to those who mocked me...
I needed to do whatever it took
to validate my artistic ability...
In that search for meaning,
darkness took hold of me.
...Ultimately, I began to
emulate that which I had so
deeply despised in Madarame.
