I don't know. You could do that. A lot of people can do things like that. But I didn't say all this because of that, it's because I lose control and things happen. You choose not to hurt people, but I don't know if I can always have a choice. I guess that's the difference for me. For you or other people with powers, just because you could hurt people doesn't mean you would and you shouldn't be treated like that, like you automatically will. But since there are circumstances where I will hurt people, even if I don't want to, it feels different. I don't want to hurt anyone.
[Those last words resonate deeply. He doesn't doubt she's right. A lot of people do take too long. He took too long. It's a memory that's less a memory than it is a feeling. It sings in his very bones.]
I don't want to be separated anymore. I woke up from death feeling like that and like everything that slipped was my fault. I don't want that again. I just don't know how else to protect them from me right now.
