[Justice softens, his free hand going to gently caress Anders’ cheek.] I never realized. I am sorry. [He didn’t realize many things, clearly. He didn’t realize how much his simple honesty and compassion might not have been so simple. He didn’t realize the effect he had on Anders. He didn’t realize the real reason Anders was willing to take a spirit into his heart.
Justice needs a moment to gather his thoughts, looking down at their interlocked hands.]
I do not know if I am capable of falling in love. I do not know if I would even realize it if I had. I do not wish to hurt you.
I envy mortal love. I will not deny that. It is dangerous for me to want what I might not be able to have. I do not know how I should proceed from here, but I do know that I cannot lose you. You are my closest and dearest companion.
