[ Shit just got real. Thobari's tone gets deadly serious. ]

Kallen. As the woman I love, there are some things you should know about me. We need to get these straight.

I am a lot of things. I am emotional. I am extroverted. I become upset easily, and I forgive even faster, because people who are important to me mean the world to me. I have no one left outside of my friends, and I enjoy showing them affection, [ here, he looks away with a bitter smile ] because I honestly, seriously, I didn't do it enough as a child. I spend my life in fear of my memories, but I continue smiling because others shouldn't be troubled by my pain. Because despite what happened, I've made it this far.

I draw my strength from others, but I am not weak. [ Here his face turns extremely grave. ] And I am not a liar.
