You're someone more important to him than I am, right now. Teammates and allies can hurt someone more deeply than an opponent or a dog of the Judges ever can. Maybe that's why I chose to be in this position, if being by his side wasn't possible.
Scowl has chosen to hurt anyone not his teammates whenever the Judges order it. So have I. When I say I'm here for him, I'm not saying it ignoring that, and when he says it, neither is he.
