We met in a few brief encounters. I fought you and your allies at first. it wasn't until... we faced Hojo together that I realized my mistake. I also read your files...

As for my... condition...

[Takes a musical interlude.]

♫This is the face that stones you cold
This is the moment that needs to breathe
These are the claws that scratch these wounds
This is the pain that never leaves
This is the tongue that whips you down
This is the burden of every man
These are the screams that pierce your skin♫

...It is something I usually keep better contained.
