Summary: Can he do this?

All of him - body, mind, and whatever passes for a soul - is screaming at him not to do what he believes he must. His mind, responsible for this plan in the first place, whispers pernicious thoughts through his head about how he’s better with her.

Can he do this to her?

He knows exactly what he’ll be without her. He will be someone who drowns a mother and her children. Who traps small girls in mirrors.

This much is undeniable: he needs her more than she’ll ever need him.

But he’ll somehow persuade himself that his double needs her more.
