Y'know, a friend of mine died over the Talisman... or at least what I thought it was. He never believed the rumors.

But I did. And I dedicated so much of my life to finding it either to destroy it or hope it could be used to reverse my curse. And so many people got hurt. [he lays his head against the back of his chair, not looking at her.] After Jade died, it became a symbol of my failures. And now... Now it's not even that. And all I can think is that if I hadn't decided some things are better than chasing ghosts, I'd be lost right now.

But that don't change how many people died for no reason before I got here.
