[It means a lot to him that Thanatos has listened to him and does seem to believe him. This is a gift he has only been afforded once before and that was with Osiris.]

Would a god so jealous of his brother willingly give up the throne to his brother's child? Would the people believe that my nephew was strong enough if he could not defeat me and take my life? I am the evil god who took his brother's life out of jealousy. The brother who was loved by all. Who would want me to live? And...[He frowns, truly meaning this:] How else will I see my brother again? He's down in the Underworld now, being reborn with a new heart. If I am to be killed, I can see him once more.

[And at this point, this is what he truly wishes for. All that he wants is to see Osiris once more.]
