I would die for every last one of you standing...and sitting, before me.

No, of course it's not because I think you'd do the same for me, that's awful.

How selfish.

You honestly think I would ask you to save me? Me, when the cost is at the expense of your own dears that need protecting? There's not a single soul here ready to give that up.

I can tell from your eyes.

But see, I don't have to worry. I can afford to die in each of your places. I only have you guys to lose.

And I needn't think of what would happen to you if I were to go away. You would take care of each other, break and heal as one.

So when the time comes that you should truly need me, I'll be more than willing.

But until then, humor me and piss off.
