It's been a while since an argument like this didn't come to blows. Why would this one be any different? "There is nothing left. I hollowed myself out a long time ago Taylor. All that's going to happen here is you're going to watch them die. And it will kill another part of you. And then you'll run. Like you ran away from the Project, and from Carolina."

He takes a breath. "So don't act like you're so much better than I am. At least I'm honest with myself."
