It would have been. Vax, you do realize that if Keyleth had died, you would not have been able to get me back, right? You would have run out of time. And wasting an attempt on me if Keyleth was also gone would have been foolish.
I cannot agree with that, Vax. Anna was always a terrifying woman, but I made her worse. My weapons made her so much worse. Everything about that day was Anna wanting revenge on me. Because of Orthax. I knew. I knew what she was like. You've seen the things she did to me. I knew the risk of leaving her alive. And I took that risk.
Stop trying to make me feel better about my failings, please. I know things are different here between us, but I am still the man who killed your sister. Who killed Grog. Who nearly lost himself to a demon because of a desire for vengeance. Who you yourself said you cannot truly forgive or trust. And that is okay. It is. Just knowing that you care is enough. I don't need anything else. I still have so much to atone for.
It's hard to explain. I just have these dreams. And I hear her voice. It's all black and bone white and blood. Like her temple. I spoke with her once, that night in Vasselheim. Before the mess with the Rakshasa. In the communion pool. I suppose you know that, if you read the letter. I remember what she sounds like. What she looks like. The dreams are like that, but not.
