[You knew very well that, since you had inevitably been drawn into the fringes of this vortex, you had to gain a thorough understanding of the specific steps and core logic of his enormous plan.]
[Because it was indeed as Kenjaku had said earlier, with a hint of complaint: the conditions you had firmly imposed-"do not include me in your plan" and "absolutely no touching Suguru Geto before the plan officially begins"-might have seemed like peripheral interference, but on some profoundly deep level, they had already seriously affected the workings of the plan he had spent a thousand years devising.]
