[ a deep sigh. ] ... the reason I got so upset is that the danger you were worried about was me, and my best friend. I turned into a monster, and he ... he killed me. That's why I died. [ a pause. ] It's a long story... about why I turned into a monster. But it's over now... and I'm going to make sure it never happens again.

It was just hard. I knew for a long time it was going to happen. That's why, the very first time I spoke to you ... I was asking for stories. It was scary, always knowing I was going to die.
