Characters: They explicitly said that this one is about Wolverine. He has lived a long time and is haunted by his past.

General message: Dealing with trauma and the past, PTSD. Both the coping qualities and and detriment of rage.

From wikipedia: A rōnin was a samurai with no lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless from the death or fall of his master, or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege.
