me: you chose focusing your attention on her over nightmare omnipresence. you literally couldn't have.

darkrai: I can only protect her from this in ways that she would not appreciate.

me: consider that she doesn't need your protection. in fact, you know she doesn't.

darkrai: That does nothing to put my concerns to rest. I'd sooner be able to tell her this is my doing, again.

me: but you won't.

darkrai: The best thing I can do for her for the time being is to stay away.

me: can you actually do that?
