I didn't have to be Friar Tuck with them, I could just be Michael, you know? I wanted that, and when it imploded, because of course it did, because I am Friar Tuck and not just Michael, I- that pain was my own too. Or so I thought.

My situation was different than yours and I shouldn't have used it- You wanted us there. I actively kept you all out of it. Like an arsehole. And believe me, I paid for it."
