After the fight, James look around in awed, stated that even if he just came here before, it's still a very great view.

We judge people based by their mistakes and it's a pity... Because there's no need for them to be banished, even if their crime is stealing. I don't mind banishing or even put out killers or something, but banishing a kind people just because they don't like the rules is sickening...". James told them that he ran away because his parents is a corrupted Executioner. He hates them and run away. He wanted to forget everything, but he can't because of his promise. "i promise Hina that I'll came back and become even better than my parents. And i guess i don't have to come back.".
