Taiki felt like he was just a puppet of a rotten system.
Even his efforts in studying law and becoming a true master had not helped him achieve what he dreamt of all his life. Eventually, he just gave up on being a better person and an instrument of change and peace.
He accepted his role as a cog in the machine.
However, after living in the outside world for a while, he realised something about human beings. Not the human beings on Martial Island who were constantly pursuing strength they could not use, money they could not enjoy and long life on an island they could not live.
He realised that he wanted something more from his life. He did not want his life to always be in black and white. He wanted the splashes of colour that came with the natural messy lives of human beings. He wanted to try.
Because life was about trying.
