("I can't let you reach Kingston.")
And when you look long into the abyss
Wellard had felt this pain, this cold, this power before-

("And I would do anything-")
the abyss also looks into you
And he had faced that choice as well. Damn himself to save others? He had. He had, and did not succeed.

("This isn't hell, is it, sir?")

To give in would be easy. Damn himself, save the others, with the poisoned promise that the pain would stop-

The betraying promise Wellard knew too well-

The problem is, the pain never stopped.

He knew quite too well. One betrayal that he had finally stood against, and then another, and another. If he went with that cold, poisoned offer now, would he saving all of them?

Or betraying them himself?
Whoever fights monsters
("Do not do anything stupid.")

"No. No. No!"

The Dark howled and whirled and the world kept going mad, but until powers far greater than Wellard broke him-

("I am no coward.")
should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster
He would stand against them.
