I've remained human and alive so far, I doubt I'm about to start fading away. I cannot believe that for a moment. [Kain's expression is dismayed and angry though when she mentions the blonde woman, the source of most of his guilt and sin. His eyes are cold.] Don't you dare bring that up. Not here and now. The past is done, it's over, and I've moved on from it.

[He looks away for a moment, frustrated at what she's saying. It's true, he envies almost everyone else he comes across, because they have it so easy, their lives are so much simpler than his own. No one else has to struggle the way he does. No one else has this constant darkness inside them the way he does, not even Cecil's darkness was this bad.]

What are you saying, that I should give up? Find some way to fade, to return to the grave, is that what you want of me? [Kain clenches his hands into fists.] I've never asked anyone to carry me or my burdens, and I'm not about to start.
