[Deep breath] I was spending some time with a young girl, Road. She seemed so innocent and lonely... but Lavi found out and warned me that she is dangerous. I believed Lavi over her. And for that, she stabbed him.
[patting Ammy, but absently now] She told me that if I came to see her, she wouldn't hurt anyone else. I couldn't take the chance, so I went. And even though Lavi told me that Road can make illusions, I fell for it completely.
It was so real, Ammy. Julia and Vash and Yuuri -- they were all perfect, just out of my memory. They were my memories, that she used like dolls for her amusement.
[a pause, and the petting stops. His head falls back and he just. Tries to get it out.] She made me watch as they burned right beside me, one by one. I couldn't do anything to save them. Julia and Y-Yuuri... [another pause, and a swallow] But with Vash, she made me choose: his life or Wolfram's. I let him die, Ammy, and now he's gone.
