Garo frowns a little. "Why are you so angry with me? I haven't done anything to you, I just ... don't want to give somebody that kind of power over me. I spent what feels like so long with no control, trapped and knowing that every single kriffin' sadist around me had the power to make me hurt if they wanted to.
"They used it, too, and I never knew when I was going to be humiliated, or taken away for torture, and I just had no control over what happened t'me. At all. I hated feeling that powerless, and I hate that I still feel like I don't have any real control over what happens to me, and I just don't want to give somebody, who might help me or might just kriff things up, power over me.
"Can't you understand that?"
Beat.
"I don't - I don't want t'be afraid. But kriff, I spent so long in that place. Even a world away I can't seem to get my head out of it."
Beat.
Everything before has been gentle and slow and quiet. The next line is just rather flat: "And I still don't get why you're so angry with me."
