This is supposed to allow us to contact others from home now? Just for today?

[he clears his throat]

All right. If you're listening, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you everything and that I had to die to make it work. I know you've heard this from OreSeur while he looked like me. I know it's not quite the same but it was the best I could do.

You'll make the world green again. I just wish I could be alive to see it.

[godsays]

Then tell me why he treated you like he did. He talked about you like you would do whatever he asked.

[indispensible]

No.

[godsays]

I don't understand the difference.

[indispensible]

I'm not your teacher.

[godsays]

Why do you have to be like this?

I'm trying to be better and you're undoing all of it.

[indispensible]

You started speaking to me. Not the other way around.

[godsays]

But I've been working with Kelsier. Sparring with him.

[indispensible]

[She just gives him a look, like, And?]

[godsays]

I don't want him to hate me.

[indispensible]

Then don't use people.

[godsays]

I don't want to, anymore! I don't want to hurt people, anymore. I don't know how to stop.

[indispensible]

. . . Why don't you want to? Just for Kelsier?

[godsays]

I was here before Kelsier was.

[indispensible]

That isn't an answer.

[godsays]

...no. There are other important people now.

[indispensible]

They make you not want to hurt them.

[godsays]

Yes.

[indispensible]

That's how you do it.

[godsays]

Did he die?

My father.

[indispensible]

He died.

I killed him.

[godsays]

[ He swallows, and nods. He doesn't know what to say to that, or how he feels. ]

[indispensible]

[She considers him carefully for a moment, watching the movement of his pain. No, he's not the same.]

[Eventually:]

It wasn't revenge.

[Which might be a silly thing to say, but it seems like an important distinction.]

[She cuts the connection. No more of this.]
