Let's see here...
There we go, that wasn't so bad, was it? It fits nicely on you, and you look so pretty...
Ah, not again...
I tell you, just let go, and it'll be all right.
It's the only thing holding you back, you know. The only thing keeping you from enjoying life again is yourself.
What's it matter, anyway? Identity.
Well, underneath all that you're still you, aren't you?
I know it hurts. Know it hurts to be seperated from your friends and family, your loved ones... but, I ask you, what is it you plan on doing about it?
A cure may come... or it might not. Are you going to suffer every minute of the way? There's new friends out there to make... and I'll be right here, every step of the way. I'll be your family, your long-lost relative come to take care of you in your hour of need.
You'd rather I go? After everything we've been through?
But forget the past... if I'm gone, who will be there for you when you're tired? Sick? Lonely? Confused?
Who will be there for me if I'm gone?
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let that slip in there...
But... the thing is... you've been there for me, in a special way.
When I didn't have any purpose, when there was nothing left, I found you. Helping you was something to do, it numbed the pain, and, in the end... I think it's the best thing that's happened to me.
There there, don't cry... I'm here, I'll be here for you, whenever you need me. Be strong, for me, don't let my help be a waste...
Yes.
I won't go, I promise.
