I've noticed. [Both the self-destruction, and that Nyx is ready to come after him, and that Venom's fallen.] Snake! [He shouts, and then tosses that baton in his direction, letting it spin and roll across the floor to his side.] Healing potions!

[Dorian makes them, and they're here somewhere. But he can't get over there to help him. That laser knife has to do his job.]

[These motions are in quick order. One, two, three. And he grabs the shadow Dorian...]

[...and he hugs him like he did in the diner that day. Chin hooked over his shoulder and squeezing around his chest.]

Dorian please stop this. Wherever you are, please stop this.

[Because he doesn't want to attack his own people. Not again. Not someone with a face he knows.]
