[There is so much conflict on his face. And the gut reaction is to agree. Tell Levity he is correct and leave it at that. It gives him such comfort, this conclusion he has come to. Why break that bubble?

Hythlodeaus... I do not wish to give you false hope or expectations. When I look upon your memories, when I look upon my memories, I see a person long gone. One to be remembered fondly.
I can be cold. I can be calculating. Countless times I have rationed death, turned nations against each other. Just because I do not revel in it, does not mean I will not use these skills if necessary. I will commit acts you find unsavory.
But just as I have changed up until this point, I will continue to grow from this point onward. Shackling myself to what I was will never end well.
