And did it occur to you that using a metaphor that implies that my actions are the cause of some inner being that is separate from who I am, that somehow, what happened isn't my fault, that's supposed to help!? Don't condone my actions, I don't want that sort of justification!

And all I can count is the number of times I've put people in danger. I've broken one jaw and beaten up a child. If Emizel hadn't been a supernatural being himself, I may have well killed him. And Shun...even if I haven't laid a finger on him yet, I've still hurt Shun more times than I can count. Whether it's my silence, or him tending to me after the madness...it weighs on him.

A child shouldn't have to regard the well-being of an adult as his responsibility. Shun shouldn't have to burden himself with me. That's not right, Alvin.
