[ His speech halts again, because he was never going to tell Al this. But it's the only way to explain. He huffs out a frustrated breath and continues. ]
I always felt that I was taking some part of someone with me when I took their ability. It was...the most I could do, to remember they were there. But it's gone. And he's gone. That's all I've got from home and I don't know if I can give it all up- put it in the ground of this damned town.
[ He can feel tears coming to his eyes and he didn't expect to be so upset about this. It's just a brain. There are no secrets left in it. Why would it matter to any part of him? Why does it feel so final? ]
