...Can't. [That's probably the calmest he's sounded this whole time. If there's one thing he knows for certain, it's that he isn't strong. He's weak, and he always will be. He might have been strong once, but Ghost has broken his spirit, possibly beyond repair.

But he nods, because he does understand. He might be able to do something now. Maybe he can repent.

Maybe he'll finally be allowed to die.

It's been too long, and he can barely tell the difference between himself and Ghost anymore. He hates himself. He's sick of being Ghost's puppet. There's a different kind of willpower to him now, the kind anyone planning suicide has. The strength of will to go through with it.]
