Tortle remembers his past as well... a time when he trained under a widely respected and beloved sensei...

Tortle... You have advanced in my teachings of peace far beyond any other student I have trained. As a result of my many years of instruction, you lead an entirely peaceful existence, never harming even the smallest of creatures.

You are my greatest protege. I forsee you becoming my successor, forever spreading the word of peace and kindness throughout this increasingly violent world. You are... like a son to me. I hope I am like a father to you for... I love you dearly, my son.
