[ free of his obligation to hide his True Name as a Servant, ryouma doesn't see any point in prolonging the mystery. ]

Nah, my father had high hopes when he called me "Dragon Horse", but I like to think I've at least done my best to be worthy of it.

[ ryouma has never considered his accomplishments his own, after all. he can be proud of the efforts he's put in — that he's given it his all — but he has always given the wins and the credit over to others to enjoy. ]

It's for the best, anyway. "Good" wouldn't suit someone like me.

[ he doesn't elaborate on that but says it plainly as a statement of fact. he doesn't try to play this one off as a joke, either, but it's a part of his character he'd accepted a long time ago. it's what makes him successful, but he's more aware than ever of what he could be capable of if he ever let that side win. mostly he's thankful that the well-intended hopes of his parents didn't turn him into a liar. ]

I've always hated the idea of settling down, so I get that. That's why I'm gonna live on my ship full-time; I didn't even bother trying to look for another place.
