She did this to me. S-She-- I was a killer before but she's made it much, much worse, trying to... to prove a point, to lead me astray or punish me or drive me to Hell. Either or. I try and I try and I try but every time, every time, it's too easy to lure them in and do it. And the water-- I need water, I can't live without it, not like a human but like a fish-- Because... Because she...
[He crumples one half of the contract back up and throws it on the floor, taking his now free hand to his head. His fingers dig into his hair.]
She's changed my mind so much. S-So deeply. Changing my thoughts and putting these instincts in... A-And as hard as I try and as hard as the Fourth God tries, she's too powerful. She's so powerful...
[He's silent for a moment before adding, quiet and almost pleading:] Imagine what she could do to you.
