Nah, all that came later... that wasn't why I did it. [ He pauses, gnawing at his bottom lip in an attempt to work out an explanation. It sounds pretty stupid, out loud. Reckless, and maybe it was but it was the only thing he could think of at the time. It worked out, right? ]
You know Helix. Back when we first met... he didn't trust anyone. I mean, really didn't trust anyone. Back when I first met 'im, he was in pretty bad shape an' he didn't even want me around long enough to make sure he was okay. Lots of stuff happened after that, but... he just kept pushin' me away. No matter what happened or what I said, he couldn't accept that I just wanted to help 'im out. Be a friend, y'know?
[ Is this too much information? Then again, he might as well come clean.] Eventually I just had enough. I told him that I wasn't goin' anywhere, I wasn't going to abandon him or stab him in th' back or nothin'. That I was stayin' right by his side an' if he didn't like it, then there was only one thing left for 'im to do: kill me.
