...I don't know. It doesn't seem like I've said it enough.

[But.]

You don't need to worry about it.

[voidbreaker]

I won’t. It’s not like it was your choice anyway, if I’m reading this whole transformation crap right.

[ with about seven books in his arms, Ash rounds one of the tables and drops them down on the surface there with a significant thud. ]

[counterclocked]

Right. I know I wouldn't have chosen to do anything like this.

[The 'but' hangs in the air as he takes a breath, even if it goes unspoken.]

[ “but” indeed.

Ash just leans himself against the table and fixes Hunter with a steady stare. ]

.... but?

...It's just hard to think there's really nothing I could have done. I mean, I was there the whole time, I just couldn't stop it.

If something’s influencing you, it’s not as easy as really, really wanting it to make it stop. It’s a nice thought but not all that practical.
