[She can see it now: that gaping hole in Stiles, wide open and so very dark, deeper than Lydia and Scott...no bottom, no light, no hope.
She wants to find him, hold him. She wants to know what happened before she got there to carve that light out of him. It's not the Nogitsune, not when it's in all of them.
She wants to feel it bleed...the thing that cut his smile away.]
Stiles...I can't do that. I can't go against the Code.
[We protect those who cannot protect themselves. None of them were safe from the thing they wouldn't share with her.]
And what's more, I won't. Especially not for you. Not...not the best of us, Stiles. Do you hear me? Not for the only thing that keeps any of us human. Because the alternative is to kill him. Them. Anyone who hurts my people. And if I do that? I'll become an inmate, and I won't be able to save you.
I can forgive him for my death...I can forgive anyone for me. You, Lydia, Scott...you let me do that. You make me that person. So...don't ask me that question again. Not ever again, okay? Because it frightens me.
