"Are you so afraid of changing?" He asked in a whisper as Claire began to cry. He pulled her in close and held her, like he always did when she was upset. It got easier, as time when on, less of a forced gesture of affection and more of something sincere.

"Claire, I---" Sylar stopped, because to answer her he would have to take a good hard look at himself, at what he had been doing all this time. It had started like that. A pure lust for her power and all that she could give him. But feelings warped, distorted. Emotions got involved, it became more. Hollow lies gained meaning. But... to even attempt to let her in, he knew he had to keep her at arm's length. Despite how kind he acted towards Claire, nothing changed. He was still vicious, cold, hollow inside. If she peeled back the layers and saw that, it would be the end of everything. Things were coming to a dangerous point. But he couldn't articulate any of this.

"You are special. And not just for your power. You see things in people that no one else does." That much was true, he decided. And not just with him, with all her despicable friends that he couldn't even begin to understand why she liked.

"I want to take it." He announced in hushed tones, after a pause. "But.. you're right, I think. I'm afraid of what will happen. How it will change the way we are. The equations will shift. Maybe not in a good way. So I hesitate."
