All right then. Do not tell me anything, but come away with me, with me alone. I will attend to Mario. He was coming to please you and he will be much happier to see us leave together, as a sign of peace. I understand that it is repulsive to you to re-awaken those memories; all right, instead of awakening them I will make you forget them—I swear it—I swear that I will never speak of them again, but come away with me and you shall see how much love I have for you. I will show you a world where we can be free, where the past will not haunt us, where we can create new memories together. Just take my hand and trust me. I promise you, it will be worth it. Let us leave this place behind and start anew, just you and I.
