"What Blackthorne is trying to kill there isn't himself, it's the version of himself that he's always been." (Shōgun 2024, Co-creator Justin Marks)
Paracelsus.
at times I almost dream
I too have spent a life the sages' way,
And tread once more familiar paths. Perchance
I perished in an arrogant self-reliance
Ages ago; and in that act, a prayer
For one more chance went up so earnest, so
Instinct with better light let in by death,
That life was blotted out—not so completely
But scattered wrecks enough of it remain,
Dim memories, as now, when once more seems
The goal in sight again.
(Paracelsus Aspires, Robert Browning)

Just to torture myself - Never noticed this until today / Mariko kisses his knuckles when he brushes her cheek. Please kill me. wtf? Need more of these two now. This is unfair to hamstring their story like they have.
