This is... the Code of Law?

And, a first edition too?!

That's right. It's for you, my child.

This... is priceless beyond measure.

The path you've chosen is completely opposite to mine.

But, I'm not as hard on our youth as Sicilia is, so please treat this as a little present from me.

I actually don't think that's true.

Oh?

I don't think our paths head in opposite directions.

The reason it was difficult to walk the path of a judge had nothing to do with the law itself, only the power of the famiglie to largely render it irrelevant.

To be honest, if I was able to handle every case to the letter of the law, I don't think I would be where I am today.

Every judge believes that you, the man who wrote this code, know full well what justice is.

The institution of guns and order should have also been the institution of the law, but instead, it became a convention among famiglie.

And this is the biggest misunderstanding you have about me, my child.

Guns beget power, and order begets regularity. What I sought was never justice, but efficacy.

Then, I will prove to you that the law can replace the customs of the famiglie.

My child, are you going to challenge me, just as Leontuzzo challenged Sicilia?

That's right.

Haha, in that case... We'll just have to wait and see.
