I hope you don't mind that I'm pretty ecstatic to have him still there. It's...better, in my purely greedy-ass opinion, to have you, this whole if fractured you, than to have nothing but a daemon walking around in a fleshsuit. Caring hurts. You know that all too well. You'd think after Tex, I wouldn't bother, because that hurt. More than I can say. But I'm gonna keep at it. I mean, fuck, I don't have a prophecy dangling over my head, and the only people who could turn on me now are all here, so I guess you're all just stuck with my big fat caring ass.
