You already know the answer. If you're not useful to me, why would I keep you around?

[Staring out at the sea, he frowns. Yes... that was right. This stupid human emotion... was liking.]

I kept you around because I had fun with you. Even with that stupid light of yours making me crazy, I enjoyed being around you, talking with you, playing games with you... It was something I couldn't explain.

[He lifts a hand to his face, fingers tracing over the scar there from Malik's rage about her.]

You probably figured it out, but the real reason Malik was so angry at you... was because he was jealous as hell over my liking you so much. If I'd kept it at just using you, it might have been fine... but once that usefulness vanished, he got madder and madder about it. Because it was more and more obvious that I was keeping you around for other reasons.
