There's a strange line between "what the hell," and "normalcy" that has been completely twisted.

You can't -- don't disappear while you're gone. Don't at all. Not unless we can all go together. [His words are quiet. Solemn. Genuine. It's not often he talks like this -- hell, only Souji and Merlin have really seen it before. Mostly Souji, of course.]
