This isn't a zero-sum game.

You dying or turning into a Damned doesn't protect anyone else. It just gets you killed.

And if - if someone's gonna walk across that finish line with you, I can think of a whole lot of people who deserve to get out of here more than me.

I gotta put this right somehow. So if that's gonna take a risk, it oughtta be me who takes it.
