That's not true. [His arms encircle her more tightly as if to cement that declaration.] You're not a burden on me. Not at all. Didn't I already tell you it was okay to cry?

And you shouldn't blame yourself for what happened to Abel. If you want to put the blame on anyone... put it all on me. Maybe if I'd been there with him, we both would've gotten out okay. Instead I just ran off on some stupid crusade after a guy who just refuses to die.

[The self-loathing in his voice is palpable.]

I'm sorry, Cat. Wasn't much help to you after all, was I? Couldn't even stop Kite from doing whatever he had planned for you. Maybe I'm the one who should've died back there.
