Despite the damage done to his outfit, it seemed that all accompanied wounds had been healed by now. The only way he could have eased all his wounds that quickly and so efficiently is through his absorption spell. A thought that didn't bode well for Father Galvadon's fate. It seemed his life energy had been used as a magic band-aid in the end. 

Nemo silently watched Raiya walk over to the door, overhearing her statement. His gaze slowly drooped to the floor as well, and he let out a small sigh. With Raiya out of earshot, he spoke softly by Travis and Zuri, not facing any one of them in particular. [color=c0c0c0]"Maybe it's just because I have a photographic memory, but when you take someone's life, it sticks with you, [i]forever[/i]. Ironically, for a killer, their victims never truly die. They'll be there for all your successes, just to spoil the mood. They'll be there while you try to sleep, just to keep you up. They'll be there when you're alone, just to be a reminder of what you did."[/color] Nemo explained. [color=c0c0c0]"In a way, you kill a part of yourself as well."[/color]

[color=c0c0c0]"Sure, you can justify it all you want. Maybe the circumstances can help you live with it, but it [i]never[/i] goes away."[/color] Nemo walked past Travis on the way to the door, but stopped behind him. He suddenly placed both of his hands on Travis' shoulders and spoke even quieter into his ear, both of them facing Raiya off by the door.[color=c0c0c0] "Vengeance is a very special circumstance... Imagine it for me, being broken by what's been done to you. Feeling a deep ever present anger within. You just want the pain it causes you to stop, but the only time the torment relents is during the catharsis you feel when you watch the life escape the eyes of someone you deem responsible for your sorrow."[/color] Nemo explained, speaking quickly. His tempo then slowed down [color=c0c0c0]"But this relief soon fades. It's only temporary... You have to kill again, it's the [i]only way[/i] to escape the suffering. You become addicted to it, consumed by it, until you realize that your pain will never truly go away now. This epiphany will only come after you've completely destroyed yourself. What you did didn't extinguish the agony, it only stoked the fire that will burn your life to the ground. Now... now you can never go back to being normal again."[/color]

After a eerie silent pause, Nemo resumed his tirade [color=c0c0c0]"Sometimes you have to do what's right for someone else, even if they'll hate you for it. That's why I had to kill him, Travis. I couldn't bare to let him haunt her. I couldn't just watch her sink further into the pit. You understand, right?"[/color] Nemo leaned away, patting Travis on the shoulder before letting his arms drop to his side. [color=c0c0c0]"Of course you do." [/color]

[color=c0c0c0]"In other news, there's a runically sealed door over there with your name on it."[/color] He finished, pointing to it before slowly walking off. Nemo stopped his stroll next to Raiya and stood there silently for a couple moments. Eventually Nemo looked over and gently tapped his hand against her side. [color=c0c0c0]"Hey..."[/color] He started, pausing again before continuing. [color=c0c0c0]"I'm sorry, Raiya. I was just... I was just trying to protect you from becoming-"[/color] Nemo looked away, drawing his gaze downwards. [color=c0c0c0]"-...like me."[/color] He admitted.
