It's true. You're me, I know you the best of anyone.
But they'll leave. This -- [the shadow holds up his blood-coated hands] -- it's horrifying. You know this already so I shouldn't have to say it. No one would stay with someone who causes so much misfortune. So they'll all go -- and so? I know I deserve it.
But I don't want them to go. I want them to stay here, with me. I'll hang onto them as long as I can, even if it hurts them. Even if it hurts others, I don't want to lose them. I will choose the most painful path for all of us just to keep them for a little longer.
