Words to part with, to drill into the Bat's skull that this was truly the end of them. "Eddy brings out the best in me. Makes me feel things I thought I could no longer experience, made me love for the first time, not under a guise of hate. I feel alive, around him, in the same ways I can cause destruction. I think that...if rehabilitation was ever possible for me, he'd be the one I want by my side. And even if he wasn't, all I need in life is him." '
