Roman raised his fist again, drawing it back, legs tensed and ready to propel him forward. He smirked as Seth tried to back away. Out here, there was nowhere to run or hide. Blood dribbled from the two-toned man's broken nose, and his breath was coming in gasps, but there was still fight in his eyes. He wasn't planning to run; Roman could see it now. The only way to do this would be to strike fast.
"Roman, please," Seth tried again, voice thick with pain. "I know you're in there. I know you can hear me. You gotta fight it, man. You have to, or he - it - whatever's in you is gonna kill me. Just like it killed Dean."
Snapshots of Dean lying broken and bloody flashed in Roman's mind's eye. He gritted his teeth.
"I did what I had to do to protect Roman." He grimaced. "Dean was becoming too...commanding. With him around, I would have been discovered. I had to get rid of him. Like I have to get rid of you."
Seth stood up straight. "Then look me in the eye and kill me. This is what you want, isn't it? To know that Roman is safe? What then, huh? What happens when I'm dead, and you let Roman wake up? He's going to think he's the one who killed me and Dean, that he's the one who is responsible for the death of his two best friends."
"You two are no longer friends."
"Bullshit." Seth pointed at Roman. "I did what I had to do. Both Roman and Dean were holding me back - but I was holding them back, too. I did what did for all three of us. I'm just sorry Dean didn't live to realize that."
Roman took a step forward and used what little height he had over Seth to his advantage, puffing out his chest and hitting Seth in the arm.
"It doesn't matter now." He glared down his nose at Seth, reaching into the back of his waistband and wrapping his hand around the hilt of a dagger. "As far as I'm concerned, the safest place for Roman to be is in an insane asylum. When he wakes up, the only thing he's going to remember is to plead insanity."
And with that, he plunged the dagger into Seth's chest, right where his heart was. Then everything went black.
