Jon said Elias tricked him. Are you saying that a lie? Why are you trying to goad me into killing you?

[compellingstatement]

['Jon said.' Because if he's fighting with Tim, he's not Jon anymore, just the Archivist. Just a thing to be disposed of.]

I'm not.
On either account.
I'm pointing out there's already been a great deal of pain and suffering inflicted.
Some of it was Elias.
Some of it was just me.
He was pulling the strings, but I did everything he needed me to, to make it possible.

Why are you doing this?

[compellingstatement]

Because I made a mistake.
I trusted you, and now I've hurt a woman you hurt.
Perhaps even more deeply.
Her name is Gilia St. Loe.
You were the second man she'd ever lain with in her life.
She thought you were sweet, kind.
That you cared for her.

And I broke her, Tim.
On your behalf.
Confronting her with what you told me.
Because I thought she'd hurt you.

[Wait, Jon was mad at him because of a monster?]

of course you did and of course you take their side and think im lying surprised you even believed me at all

[compellingstatement]

I don't think you're lying.
I think your perception of reality is skewed.
Everyone who isn't human is a Stranger to you.
Those marks run through you like veins now.
Twisting and pulsing with poison.

And I don't need any magic powers to see that.

Please get help, Tim.
Psychiatric help.
You desperately need it.
