She never did get what she wanted. Maybe she never could. Maybe there was nothing that would ever satisfy her. Maybe there really wasn't anything I could have done, short of going to the police, that would have stopped her from hurting people. But I thought... She was always so unhappy, so furious and unhappy, and I thought I could... I hoped...
This is pointless. Even if there was anything that I could have done, I've long since lost my chance to do it. No one ever told Dahlia what to do; I should know that better than anyone. And she can finally stop hurting now, she'll finally...
