[Darin curls up and hugs his knees to his chest. He can hear Raven just outside and he leans against the wall closes to his voice.]

You don't know how strong I really am...

I hide it, you know. I hide it because I'm dangerous. Because I don't want people to get hurt.

[The metal around him bubbles outward, then contracts a bit.]

I'm not human, Raven. I was born specifically to end my world. And even if it's gone, I don't think Diomuhr's gonna settle...he doesn't care what he wipes out, as long as he can do it.

[He looks at his hands.]

You're not...wrong. I do want to hide. I want to hide because all my life, every moment of every day has been spent knowing that I was different. I was special, but not in the good way. But if I hide...if I hide my power, I can't be used. I can't hurt anyone other than myself and...

In the end...? I'd be okay with that...
