I don't want to lose you either, or see you in more pain.
I understand, but... please. If there's something, anything I can do, let me help you. I'd honestly rather be in constant danger helping the people I care about than live a safe life without being of use to anyone.
When Sebastian had me close, the first thing he did was isolate me from the people I cared about. He took steps to make sure I depended on him more and more, and came to him when I needed things.
You can also use me as a checking system, like I do with you, for Yuca.

No fighting? He's been a little quiet lately.
