[I... fought with people on the network. Envy told me about what his warden did, back when he was destroying things often. Turned him human. He... He hated it, hated it so much he tried to end himself, I think to be brought back as he was supposed to be.

Some of them... Some of them said they would do it again if they needed to. They would trap someone that way, in an existence that isn't theirs, and that they would deserve it. And that it was okay because they deserved it.]

The sense of him in Jedao's mind doesn't get smaller so much as quieter, like a gas burner turned down as low as it possibly can be while still displaying a flame.

[I don't... I don't want that. I don't want that.

But I don't... understand all of the reasons they might do it.]
