"I know," she says quietly. "That's why I'm afraid for you. You would fight for me, or Kate, or Meredith. Or hit us over the head and haul us back to safety if we were doing something stupid and self-destructive. But you don't fight for yourself the same way, and I can't just stab the Entities to protect you."

There's a fierce edge to her voice, the sort that says that if one manifested in the room right in front of them, she would do her level best to stab it anyways.
