Look, I know you're gonna try to kick me out. I get it.
I get what it's like to hide out and push people away because u don't feel deserving.
You know why I keep asking about my Mom?
Because I'm the reason she's dead.
I left the stupid vanity mirror open that night.
If I hadn't been putting on lipgloss, she'd still be here today.
But Lisa, I just found six cases of u trying to save victims around the city,
Even though you're putting yourself at risk.
You're not a monster.
And I would know.
Plenty of guys out there are, but u... you're like a superhero.

Laughs.
