"But then it'll be quiet."
"It's better than rambling on about nothing with no one."
"That hurts. Why don't you just let your mind wander? It's better than not talking to me."

"My point remains valid. Just fade away from where you are."
"If I fade then you take over, am I right? Then how will I escape?"
"You contradict yourself. If you're desensitized, why do you want to leave? There is nothing to do you harm here."

"B is for Broken."
"I is for Illusion. I realize that you are now a part of me. Which means I can silence you."
"You won't. I'm the only thing keeping you sane."
"A is for-"
"NO!"
"A is for-"
"STOP!"
"A is for Adieu."
"Good-bye my foolish apprentice. Foolish apprentice to a foolish man."
