-mildly, looking him in the eye- You must not have loved her that much, if the pain outlives the joy so.
*glares slightly* You’re wrong. It’s more likely that I loved her too much. I should have sent her away to safety, but I kept her close to me instead. I kept her in danger, and she died because of my selfishness.
You arrogant little shit! You wouldn’t know hubris if it /bit/ you, would you. How dare you assume she would have just gone, that you could possibly be the one to choose for her! What if she had chosen to stay? What would you have done then? What if she had tried to tell you to leave her for your own safety?
