You're sorry? For him? Don't apologize for that bastard. He doesn't deserve any apology. He's the reason I was in that tower. Do you know how I used to live up there, locked away? In chains. Naked. Feeding off corpses. Remember the day you were given a beautiful pink dress for your birthday? I do. You came to tell me about it and you were beautiful, the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen...you know what I was given? Rags to wrap myself in and a sponge bath.
[There's a disjointed laugh at the memory before the noise stops and her eyes seem to unfocus.]
Killing him was one of the best days of my life.
[Maybe Saya's right. Maybe she doesn't understand everything, but it's annoying that Saya's always seemed to look down at her. They were supposed to be equals in every way - even nature demanded it of them and yet...]
Charles? I don't know who that is. [He's still Carl to her, after all.] And I don't know how the bridegroom Solomon picked out for me could care for me at all when we never even got to meet.
[Yeah, that's right. Solomon was playing matchmaker with your little brother. Nasty.]
No one loves me, not the way you're loved. Don't lie to me, Saya...how can you love me if you can't even love yourself?
