[Guess who isn't happy to see you, Yuan? Raine stopping by the previous day had been bad enough. As soon as Mithos sees him, he ceases his irritated pacing and simply glares.]
And whose fault is that? If I had been allowed to succeed in all my plans, that wouldn't be a matter of concern. I should have had an eternity to spend with my sister, but all of you took that away!
That kind of ideal came at too great a cost and it would bring only you happiness. It's one of my greatest regrets that Kratos and I went along with your plans as long as we did.
No, you simply refuse to listen the moment it doesn't agree with you! But I'm done with these petty arguments. It's obvious you won't learn your lesson, so you can rot down here like the common criminal you are.
[He's turning to leave, now. Mithos, if you wanna stop him, you'd better make it quick.]
[Like he's going to let you get the last word. He grabs the third book and sends it flying.]
You're the one who deserves to rot down here, for slandering my sister like that. She will never leave my side - do you hear me? I never turned my back on her, and she knows that! She knows I protected her when no one else would!
[Another spectacular miss, and now you only have one book left to read. Congratulations, Mithos, you brought the boredom upon yourself. But Yuan will pause in his tracks.]
What you call protection is nothing more than a delusional obsession.
[Don't worry. He'll abate the boredom by stewing in hatred for you, Yuan. He shadows Yuan's movement along the iron bars of the cell, stopping where he does. Now putting himself right up against the bars and gripping them tightly, rather like wrapping his hands around a throat to choke the life out of somebody.]
You're wrong! I protected her until the end. I died for her, and what did you do?!
[He's silent for a moment. Then he tilts his head towards Mithos slightly. Not entirely- not enough to look him in the face. Just enough to acknowledge that Mithos is standing there. When he speaks, it's more of a hoarse whisper than anything else.]
Freedom isn't death! Freedom is living forever without the fear of persecution! That's what I wanted to give her, and what you prevented for all those years! Don't act like you had her best interests in mind, when we know that isn't true!
Living forever isn't freedom. It's a burden- a curse. The only one who enjoyed it is you.
[Yet ironically, Mithos had the luxury to die while Kratos and Yuan are stuck cleaning up the mess they left behind. Mithos, who was the ring leader, got a free pass out of redemption.]
I don't have that liberty. Unlike you, I don't shirk my responsibilities. I will continue to make sure that you don't harm any more innocent people and once I'm returned home, I need to work on rectifying Cruxis's mistakes.
[He may sound just a little bitter saying it. Yes, he wants that eternal rest pretty damn badly, but he needs to earn it first and he blames Mithos for the most part.]
Did you come here to gloat?

[And now he's going to keep walking towards the exit again.]
