Really? So you mean I should just throw away everything I think, just so you'd love me? So Peggy would've? [Yeah, that just wasn't going to happen. Why should he change to make someone love him, he thinks; why can't anyone just like him for who he is now?]

There was no chance, either way. Maybe I should just kill you, it'd be better. [Not that he'd ever do that, he had a lot in him, but he couldn't do that. Even just looking at her made him think of how nice it'd be to hold and have her laugh and smile and be happy again.

He could've done without ever seeing her again, honestly, considering everything.]
