She'll take a dozen sneering villains over a few so-called friends who pretend to care while leaving you to drown. At least Jon tried. All Martin ever did was lie.]

What about that you're the whole reason the entities are here in the first place? Or were you just holding hands with your Archivist and trying to enjoy your honeymoon while the rest of us fought, bled, killed and died trying to fight a shadow that you brought into this lowly little planet?
You only care because you think you should. You only care when it's convenient. And you don't fool me for a fucking second.

But she already hates herself a great deal more.]
