I did notice. Though I had hoped he would have taken my words to heart. Though I am glad to hear this is a first step in the right direction.

[He will sit on the edge of the bed.]

I believe I already changed a bit in his own book. The most important fact.

I was not aware he was as sick as Yvette's interest. There are many brilliant minds here. Perhaps a cure can be found, perhaps not. If not, then I would recommend he use his wish to heal himself. Yes, you will be bound by the rules of Hell, but life is never perfect.

I used to be a caretaker of souls such a longtime ago. Thus I find it difficult to alter who someone is. Anything forced might unravel over time or not have the support it needs to flourish. And I would not change who he is. Rather. I would embrace it and start moving forward in a direction of his choosing. One not bound by fate or desires of others.

So I ask of you. What do you want? What does he want?

As for our relationship, I will not change it. To thrive, he does not need to trust or open up to me. He just needs to find someone. He is free to judge my deeds however he wishes. Though I do wish he would hear our side before making judgment.
