But that's not what you want. Even back then, you didn't want to end up alone... you told me that yourself! [He's wiping at his eyes again.] Besides, it's not everyone else! What about Freyjadour, and Tear? They helped you, after I was too hurt to do it myself.

[Hurt because he protected Mithos. It's not something he regrets, either. He steps forward again.]

I wanted to do it myself. I wanted to protect you... but I'm glad Freyjadour and Tear helped us, despite that. A-And doesn't that show that it's not just me?
