“You- you hurt people. You killed people in the lab, who knows what would have happened if Saph hadn’t-”
“I know when to stop, child. Your human nature is still afraid.”

“But, you are also Void. The Void Overlord, consumer of chaos, the Vessel of the Entity.”
A sigh.
“And you must learn to be both.”
