First of all, my loyalty is to Roman Torchwick alone. Everything else is secondary. Semantics, yes, but important to me.
We were both lying that day, but no. I wasn't responsible for that one.
[She breathed considering her words carefully.]
I am not sure, "Tai." I don't want to be locked up because I want to believe she and I can avoid each other long enough to decide how to end this on our own terms. After the bear is gone. But you're clearly spying on me, so good. I guess what I'm saying is, if you see me or her getting close to each other, distract one of us to keep us apart.
Your niece is a dumb, lovable hero who thinks she can save everyone, even me. Even Salem. If she sees me, mind-affected by the bear, she's going to try to save me. And I don't know what I'll do, and I don't want the bear to use me as a tool. If I do something to Ruby, if I kill her, if I forgive her, I want it to be ME that does it. I want to be responsible for my own damned choices.
So, if you happen to have the chance to keep us apart this month? Good. I guess this is me warning you, "Tai," that I might be a problem if the Bear gets to me.
When the bear gets to me. I'm self aware enough to know I'm vulnerable right now.
