Raven- [He wants to reach out to her, to hold her and comfort her and tell her that everything's going to be okay, and he gets as far as reaching out his hand to her before he drops it. He's not sure how to begin to fix this, and his own anger and frustration and deep sense of loss suddenly feel very far away.]
I do need you. You're my sister, of course I need you. But it's not- it's not healthy to rely on only one person that much. I know we didn't really have the best opportunities growing up, [Money didn't buy you happiness, or parents who loved you, or friends who could understand why there were just some things they could never know about.] but I don't want you to feel like you're nothing without me, because you aren't, and I'm sorry if I ever made you feel like that wasn't true. You're capable of so much, and I should have realized I was holding you back. It wasn't intentional.
[Now more than ever, he feels like he's completely failed her. She probably would be better off if he'd just severed the ties, and he looks and sounds defeated.]
