Darkness isn't-

[He can't believe he's saying this.]

It's not magic. Something bad might happen.

But you're more likely to damage yourself like this.

[ she scoffs quietly.] It's better than hurting someone else.

No.

It really isn't.

[He takes a moment. Spreads his hands.]

If you want to master it, you don't have to hurt anyone. If you control it, it won't control you.

[ She sits back, looking skeptical.] And how do I "master it" or "control it"?

You start directing it, for starters.

You stop turning it on yourself.

[Like on her own hands, for instance.]

And direct it where? [ her real fear is directing it towards others.]

Do you hate it here?

[That's a pretty safe assumption.]

Yes. [ obviously.]

Then focus it on that.

I do focus on that. And I am trying to make this place better for other people.

You've got it wrong.

You want to make it better for other people? Focus that darkness on the enemy.

I don't think it works this way.

Why not?
