V and Rem come to an understanding:
Rem: “V you saved my life when you could’ve abandoned me, why? I hated you, I wanted to kill you so why!?”
V sighs as he walks towards Rem and gently puts a hand on her shoulder.
V: “Because we are more alike than you think. I look to you and your sister and I wonder what could’ve been on that fateful night if my mother had saved both me and my brother. Would we be as close as you and your sister? I do not know, but I do know the pain of losing all you hold dear. For the longest time I was lost, I sought power so that I would never feel helpless again and for a time I was vindicated. But eventually I was made to feel powerless time and time again. In my grief, in my need to gain more power I turned the only remaining family I had against me.”
Rem is silently shocked by this.
V: “It’s ironic that only after separating the parts of myself that I once considered weak that I came to recognize the value of my humanity. So if you will not value yourself then allow others to value you perhaps then you can see that you are more than your sister’s replacement.”
