[ He's gotten what he wanted, hasn't he? Vander tried to hit him with this already, he already felt it, that near-thing, that dark little pit that wants to swallow him whole. This though, seeing him lose all the pretense, lose the control? He can see it. He can imagine how he feels right now.
It feels betterto cut him deep like that. It lets him ignore the loneliness a little longer. It lets him pretend that he isn't watching everyone move on without him. Oh, he says it, but...
For some reason, Vander's anger feels like a shield as much as a swipe.
He answers in a way he can. Dangling that in front of him. ]
Yet in the end, she went to Stillwater anyway. I wonder if it was for her crimes? You clearly couldn't have protected her, because you weren't willing to do everything possible, could you? You could have spared your kids so easily.
By just saying 'yes', but you didn't. How funny it is, that you didn't have the mettle to do the one thing that would have protected them. We could have fought topside together, and realize that dream. Your children would have been perfectly safe, but no. You couldn't stomach it. So don't give me that load of nonsense that you would hang for her.
You can't even say Jinx's name properly. You still can't. She's told you who she is, and when push comes to shove, you forget. When you lose your temper, you forget.
I already gave my life for Jinx. [ To Jinx. ] Instead you still try to drive that wedge.
