There is no turning back now.

It is never too late, my friend, never.

I have worked too hard, done too much, to simply abandon it.

~~Not to mention I have made a decent enough number of enemies to warrant an execution the moment I relinquish power.~~

I wish you would, it can't end well.

It cannot. I accepted that long ago.

But there is only one course to pursue now.

You do know I will not allow your power to reach any further, nor will I allow you to keep it?

I know you will certainly try.

And I will certainly succeed, at the most dreadful cost.

Then so be it.

*sighs*

How I wish things could be different.

There was finally a note of hesitation, though it did not last long.

They could be.

But we are both too stubborn for that. Both see ourselves as having too much to lose.

No, no. This is not out of stubbornness. This is because the only way I can make up for what I've done is correct what you've done. I have nothing left to lose.

You could join me. A pause. I would like nothing more.

He shook off the moment, the doubt, the question.

But if it comes to a duel, then so be it.

I could not. Not when I've seen what I've seen.

~~You could stop. You could relinguish power, I would like nothing more.~~

So be it. *his expression grows heavy*
