[Darin sits like he's just been decked in the face. Suddenly, everything makes sense. Caster's grief...he could relate. In fact, everything she made him see...the way he reacted. It was exactly the same.]
Hijikata...you've gotta listen to me. Her 'Master'...she loved him, Hijikata. He was her entire world. If you could hear the way she talked about him...
[He sighs.]
Monsters don't talk about people the way she talked about him.
If you can forgive me for what I did...then she's no different. She acted in grief. And everything I did was because of the same. I was made to believe everything I knew and loved here had been destroyed and in my grief I lost control.
We all have something we'd burn the world to protect, Hijikata. The only thing she's guilty of is loving someone...
