Being afraid is not a sign of weakness. Accepting it, facing it, handling it, those are things we can do for ourselves. Accepting offers of help before we unleash powers to a lord of death, before our own great powers can be used against us, before we're fully destroyed, that's important, ah?

I've been there before, in slightly different ways. You've become more and more lost in fear and anger over the last two years, Lao Five. It has to be exhausting.
