There are five basic torture groups, every agent learns. Blunt, sharp, cold, hot and loud.

It is a mystery to me why no one mentioned silence.

Spoilers for the series finale )

Her form appeared as if he had willed it into existence. After all this could just be a cruel joke his own guilt was putting onto himself. Still it would feel as real to him as he would let it as her body wafted through the large stone table that had since cracked in half from the explosion.

"Is this what you consider an accident as well? Where is the cosmic oops that I should hear echoing into the dark distance. Did I already miss it? Perhaps I should ask your legs, once they've told you how they are feeling of course."

Her smile is cold and cruel, this is not the Nadia that loved her father, this is truly the vision that he had always felt was to become of her had she been with him her whole life.

"Ahh yes, the weakness. We've seen that so many times, yet each time you think that it's something new. You've been weak Arvin. I've watched you push it all away for something that what? Gives you this? Is this what you wanted? Your own daughter among those broken pieces? Lying among the broken glass?"

She paces across his line of sight, each time she turns to start back again her eyes meet his, cold and glassy as if without any emotion for whatever bond they could have had. "I was tired of hearing about your great sacrifices, if I had known that I was to be one of them?" Her form leaned against the broken stone as if she was really there and able to touch and feel, or perhaps it was just his mind forcing reality where there was none left to grip onto. "If you had been my father, things would have gone differently. Perhaps I would have died walking across the glass, ironic that when you fell I helped you, yet when I fell you left me to bleed."

"No," he protests, not quite knowing what it is he denies - one of her charges, or all of them, or the realization that in every way that mattered, her charges were true. At the moment when he pushed her aside to save page 47 out of the fire, he had not meant to kill her, true. He had not even been aware that there was anything she could fall into. But at that moment, he had betrayed her, he had made a choice, the reverse choice he had made when he shot her, and that one push had been a far worse betrayal than the shot fired with lethal intent. Not to mention that she never would have ended in a coma if he had not added the Rambaldi formula to so many water supplies. In every way that counted, she has been his sacrifice ( ... )

"You really thought you were ready to die? Open arms extended outward like some sort of Christ like symbol ready to move onto the higher plane? Perhaps it wasn't even the higher plane you were seeking. All the crimes you've done and I doubt you've felt a single shred of remorse."

She pauses and tilts her head at him rubbing her hand below her wound giving the impression that the skin felt tight, but there was no skin to really feel. Nothing to feel at all. "Betrayal isn't something you should have to balance out. It is already balanced with the betrayal. Your mindless banter may be getting the better of you now, but I dare to wonder if there was ever a better to get."

She moves closer to him, and would kneel down before him as if to pay homage to him for all his wonders, but instead she just smiles a wicked grin at him, "I'm not your guide Father. I'll never let you back into my life. Don't you get it? The betrayal can't be reversed now. It's this way forever. And ever."

"You are still young," he says, paradoxically given a sliver of hope by her last thrust, because she suddenly reminds him of her sister. "Forever is a very long time, Nadia. Sydney told me the same thing once, and so did Jack. And I told them we would work together again. They didn't believe me then, but so we did ( ... )
