"Am I interrupting something?"
"Not at all."
"I can see you've got a lot on your mind," I said, trying to prompt him into speaking.
He stayed silent for a while before voicing the question that had been on his mind.
"I've been wondering, Frey… why did you choose me of all people to accompany you? I mean, I know your reasoning—you see me as the Church's champion, an asset in battle—but for some reason, I don't think that's the real reason."
Snow had voiced his true thoughts—and it seemed he'd seen right through me. Our bond must have deepened after I last possessed him.
"You're right. The reason I chose you goes much deeper than that," I said, deciding to be honest with him.
He fixed his eyes on me as I began explaining the real reason.
"Simply put, I couldn't leave you to fight the Ultras in your current state. If I did, you'd definitely keep walking the path of demons .. and that path will destroy you, nothing more."
