I don't talk about myself on anyone's terms but my own.
[So he doesn't need to worry about that.]
And never without good reason. So just in case you need this spelled out for you, I've just shared with you the reason my ideals align so closely with the Chief's - I worked my way to where I am and succeeded entirely on my own merits. No one's opinions exist in a vacuum, Shijima, and they're always informed by life experiences.
[That's about all she's going to say on that matter. Daichi can take this however he likes - an admission that she trusts him, a justification for her harshness in the past, a desire to forge a closer connection with one of the handful of people she knew before coming here... it's Fumi, so it's hard to say. But there it is, all the same.]
So if you've finally decided to do something in this town, don't half-ass it.
[That's what this entire conversation boils down to in the end.]
