“Sylvain, tell me you’re not taking the blame for leaving this world. That’s utterly foolish. We have no control over any of this. Who stays, who leaves, who remembers or forgets - it’s all out of our hands. I hate it, but so far we’ve found no way to change it. It is what it is. There’s nothing you could possibly have done differently.” A pause, as he studies Sylvain’s face. “Do you understand?”
