At least at home he has a handle on the situation, at least at home there aren't giant gods trying to destroy everything. The insanity of HLC is normal. It's expected. It's something he's gotten used to over the years.

I like being able to spend every day with you, White. [ She's all that he needs--so he should be content here, too, but there are so many more factors he has to consider for her safety. A tired sigh. ] But it's just not possible. We don't belong here--maybe we're even helping upset this world's balance by being here. I don't know. But we don't belong here.

I'll just enjoy the time I have here to the fullest then. So I don't regret it when I go back.

I wouldn't get jealous. Promise. [ Promise. ] Sorry for leaving you alone for so long, White. I just... [ ... ]
