I wonder if I could. If I overflowed like the canals... maybe I would just destroy. I would destroy until something else destroyed me.
[But Tabibito's words sound rather final, as though they don't plan to extend this observation much longer. Disappointing. He knows this one can't be forced easy for what he wants, and cruelty isn't his to collect.]
...I will watch you, Tabibito. If your monster is there, I want to see it. I want to be there when it breaks free.
I want to see what I saw in you when your shoulder snapped. Your heart feels dark and unapologetic things for the sake of others.
[His attention turns back to the canals, frown setting, firm like stone. Grasping at what is now nothing but a void of sensation where there was once something, someone, a frail skeleton left to anchor words and context.]
I wonder how aggressive love can be. It must be bright in the hands of someone like you.
