You of all people I thought could understand how wearing it is to trade your own happiness for everyone else's. All my lives I never thought I could ever be as happy as I was as a child. I gave up on that chance for people like you! You humans, so below being worth my attention, yet I chose to protect you.
And now I have a chance to make things right with the Master! He's my oldest friend, you know that, and I ruined everything when we were children. I was so selfish I doomed both of us for the rest of our lives, but look at him now! He's happy, and I'm happy!
Don't you dare ruin that for me, Jack. Because you can't tell me I haven't earned it.
