And she had said before that it was a mistake, that she hadn't been well, and she's saying it again now. He doesn't know what insanity is like, but he's experienced flashes of it before: the rush that made him stab Gaius, then Sharon. The narrow focus, the total inability to care about anyone you can't see...

[That he chooses murderers and despots; that he's afraid she's one too.] ...that I don't know who I can trust anymore. I don't know if I can trust anyone anymore.
