I know about using and manipulating people, Jacen. It's all I've done for 5 centuries. I pitted the Salvatore brothers against each other for nothing more or less than my own amusement. I liked watching them fight over me. As far as I know, because I haven't gotten all that detailed in my talks with either of them since I've been here, I practically ruined their relationship, maybe permanently.
But reaching the goal's not the point in this case, right? It's the fact that you keep going, even when it seems impossible. Isn't that what you've told me?
